Stuttering Program
Stuttering results from a disorganization of the central nervous system. Through repetitive exercises on the GIGER MD and training on the audio-vocal loop, we achieve 70 to 80% success with lasting reduction in stuttering from 6 to 8 sessions.
An innovative program against stuttering: GIGER MD and audio-vocal feedback in the service of verbal fluency
The Activate center in Geneva offers a unique and integrative approach for stuttering treatment, based on two complementary pillars: neuro-motor exercises on the GIGER MD device and audio-vocal training. This combination aims to deeply reprogram the neurological and auditory circuits at the origin of the disorder.
GIGER MD: correcting central nervous system disorganization
Stuttering is often linked to functional disorganization of the central nervous system (CNS), particularly in the coordination of sensorimotor loops involved in speech. The GIGER MD allows to reorganize these neural networks through rhythmic and symmetrical exercises of the four limbs, performed in a lying position combined with cognitive work.
Each session lasts 20 minutes and generates more than 30,000 articulated movements, thus stimulating brain plasticity. Noticeable changes appear from 6 to 8 sessions, including better vocal and respiratory coordination, decreased body stress and renewed confidence. The results obtained are often lasting, thanks to the motor relearning effect on corticospinal circuits involved in speech.

Audio-vocal loop: re-educating listening to free the voice
In parallel, the microphone and headset work acts on the sensory side: it aims to correct listening distortions and re-educate the audio-vocal loop. Stuttering is frequently associated with unbalanced listening, particularly poor auditory lateralization or selective hyperacusis. Through reading sessions under electronic ear, the brain relearns to correctly process sound information, thus improving real-time speech control.
The combined effects of motor stimulation (GIGER MD) and auditory stimulation (Tomatis) allow smoother integration of sensorimotor language circuits, essential for stable and confident speech.
Promising and measurable results
Our experience shows that 70 to 80% of treated patients at the Activate center almost no longer stutter at the end of the protocol. These improvements concern both children and adults, and are measurable both subjectively (verbal ease, confidence) and objectively (fluency, pauses, repetitions).
A free first information session
We offer each new patient a free information session with our specialist, without commitment. This allows us to assess together the expectations, needs and therapeutic possibilities.
