DEANNA STEM CELL THERAPY RESULTS

The Pulsed Method Helped Deanna

Deanna received stem cell therapy in February and again in August of 2019. Since receiving her first round of stem cells, Deanna’s speech therapist has noted the following changes in her sessions. been noted in therapy sessions:

  • Reduced nasality overall when speaking; and moments of nasality were classified via a slight “leak” of air vs more of a continuous burst of air that was taking place throughout sets pre stem cells.  Deanna also reports that the air does not fully pass through her nose as it was previously.
  • Less visible “force/strain” when talking with oral musculature and neck muscles
  • Ability to hit speech sound targets with greater ease and clarity
  • More control in modulating fast vs. slow pacing in sets of vocal exercises. She has also changed set format to include slower more deliberate production to work on enunciation as well as musculature control.
  • Continuing to beat previous records across vocal exercise sets
  • During sessions where fatigue is present, her ability to complete sets is not impacted by fatigue the way one would correlate (i.e. increased fatigue, decreased performance). Deanna has had sessions in which she has met new records on days in which she is experiencing increased fatigue.
  • Overall improved volume

Deanna is being treated by Brieann Y. Papp, M.S. CCC-SLP – Speech & Language Pathologist and owner of All About Speech and Language, Tampa, FL
