Head, Neck, Jaw and Voice

Head, Neck, Jaw and Voice

With over 30 years of clinical experience as a physical therapist, Debra K. Albrecht is skilled in evaluation and treatment of spinal dysfunction, head and neck pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), headaches, orofacial pain, and voice disorders.

Debra K. Albrecht, specialist in head and neck pain, grew her interest in this area from her own lifelong passion for dance and performing arts. 

With over 30 years of clinical experience as a physical therapist, Debra is skilled in evaluation and treatment of spinal dysfunction, head and neck pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), headaches, orofacial pain, and voice disorders. She utilizes manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilization, visceral and myofascial release to compliment work on postural retraining and functional strengthening.

Early in her career, Debra had the tremendous opportunity to study extensively with the renowned Dr. Mariano Rocabado, DPT, CCTT, a specialist in treatment of the head and neck pain and related TMD. She continued to expand her expertise with course work through The Institute of Physical Art. It was during this period that she began to recognize the importance of visceral myofascial treatment for improving respiratory function, posture, lumbopelvic alignment, and temporomandibular joint function.

Her focus on the biomechanical relationship of head, neck and TMJ, especially in application to voice and airway dysfunctions were enhanced as a Speech/Voice Therapy and Otolaryngology team member for patients following vocal cord surgery. She especially enjoys treating singing performing artists.

Testimonial

Teltherapy “has been a miracle”

— Helen L. Compton, Durham

I was waiting on an available appointment at Advance PT when the Covid-19 restrictions were applied. Some old pains had come back and I was in need. I then discovered that Molly was willing to do virtual visits. I was not sure how it would work , but I needed help!

Well, it has been a miracle for me. I have been able to make the same kind of progress as if I were visiting in the office. I have always known that the physical therapist at Advance PT were capable, but it is amazing the over Zoom Molly can assess my progress and teach me new exercises.

After each appointment she send me notes on modifications on exercises that we have discussed during our “visit” and instructions on the new exercises. I am doing much better and never had to drive to Chapel Hill. I could get used to this!
