Increased perception and tone regulation with novafon
Targeted local vibro-tactile stimulation can stimulate the sensorimotor system and regulate tension in the areas of voice, swallowing, and speech. This results in improved motor control and function in cases of swallowing, speech, and voice disorders.

Treating voice and swallowing disorders
with the novafon
Patients with voice, speech, and swallowing disorders often suffer from reduced perception and/or hyper- or hypotonic muscle tension and benefit from tactile stimulation. novafon can help regulate tension, promote perception, and improve movement patterns. novafon serves as an activator for improved motor control and movement execution, as well as for passive stimulation in cases of muscular and habitual tension imbalances. The deep vibrations gently but effectively stimulate the muscles and nerves, making it a useful tool in the treatment of various speech disorders.
Application in speech therapy

Myofunctional therapy
Treating voice disorders
Voice disorder
In voice therapy, novafon is used to achieve balanced muscle tension in the muscles involved in voice production. The vibration helps to regulate incorrect tension, for example in cases of functional voice disorders, and to achieve increased awareness of the treated areas of the body.
Treating swallowing disorders
Swallowing
novafon specifically stimulates the orofacial muscles in cases of dysphagia, thereby improving muscle control. Its deep penetration allows even deep-lying muscles to be activated and nerves to be reached. The tension-regulating vibrations can be applied both intraorally and extraorally.
Stimulate articulation zones
Speech
In cases of speech disorders such as dysarthria, vibrotactile stimulation can have a positive effect on muscle tension and coordination of the organs involved in speech. The lips, tongue, and facial muscles are specifically activated to improve control.
Treating voice and swallowing disorders
Myofunctional therapy
Myofunctional therapy aims to balance tension and promote awareness in the orofacial region. Treatment with the novafon is suitable for activating hypotonic muscles. In cases of orofacial dysfunction, both intraoral and extraoral application are used.
Three frequencys
Depending on the treatment goal, novafon sound wave devices offer a choice of three frequencies in the audible and perceptible sound range.
Up to 9 cm+ depth effect
While massage devices, for example, only work superficially, novafon enables effective treatment down to the deep tissue layers.
Drei Frequenzstufen
Je nach Behandlungsziel kannst du bei novafon Vibrationsgeräten zwischen drei Frequenzen im hör- und fühlbaren Schallbereich wählen.
Bis zu 9 cm+ Tiefenwirkung
Während z.B. Massagegeräte nur oberflächlich arbeiten, ermöglicht dir novafon eine wirksame Behandlung bis in tiefe Gewebeschichten.
Proven effectiveness. Versatile application.

97 %
of therapists confirm the effectiveness of novafon treatment for osteoarthritis.
"The most common areas of application are cases of osteoarthritis, which deliver excellent results and feedback depending on the stage of osteoarthritis (1–3). [...] After 3 weeks of daily treatment, improvements in symptoms of up to 90% are not uncommon.³"

90+ clinical studies
and publications
For more than 40,000 therapists, clinics, and practices, novafon is a reliable partner in physical therapy. For over 90 years, our medical devices have been making a clinically proven contribution to effective pain treatment. Local vibration therapy has been shown to be even more effective than aspirin for chronic pain.

Praxis Alexandra Spille
Speech therapist
"In voice therapy, I use the novafon in almost every therapy session. This applies to both hypotonic and hypertonic voice disorders. I can use it equally well for functional and organic voice disorders, for example in cases of paresis of the vocal folds." ⁹

Frequently asked questions about use in speech therapy
- How is novafon used in speech therapy?
Depending on the treatment goal, the device is placed on the corresponding body region with the appropriate attachment. By selecting the frequency (50, 75, or 100 Hz), the application can be individually adjusted and applied intraorally and extraorally. The sound wave device can be used selectively or over a large area to regulate muscle tension and promote perception.
- For which speech therapy indications is novafon suitable?
novafon is particularly suitable for dysphagia, myofunctional disorders, articulation and voice disorders, and muscle relaxation.
- What advantages does vibration therapy with novafon offer over other methods?
Compared to manual stimulation, vibration therapy enables deep, even stimulation without exertion. novafon has both sensory and motor effects, is portable, and can be used on specific points or over larger areas.
- Can novafon also be used by patients at home?
Yes, novafon is suitable for both professional use in therapy and for use at home. Therapists can provide patients with specific instructions on how to use it in order to maintain or even increase the success of their therapy.
- Is there clinical evidence for the effectiveness of novafon sound wave devices?
The positive effects of local vibration therapy have been proven in clinical studies. The treatment led to improvements in pain perception and neurological indications such as spasticity. You can find an overview of all clinical studies and publications here.
