Why is HCRI's program physically based?

The answer is straightforward. Stuttering is driven by abnormal contractions in the speech muscles that cause the markers of stuttering (repetitions, prolongations, voice blockage) and the negative psychological reactions resulting from muscle “misbehavior.”

The advanced Hollins Fluency Program is designed to help you replace muscle “misbehavior” with correct muscle actions — and thereby create fluent speech and the reduction and possible elimination of negative psychological reactions to everyday speaking situations.
