Music therapy

Music therapy uses the different facets of music for therapeutic aims. Let’s take a look at this increasingly-popular method…

Music therapy literally means treatment by music. This excellent means of expression actually helps people let out their emotions and suffering that can be so difficult to express in words.

While some are more sensitive to music than others, most of us feel emotion when we listen to music. Music therapy is thus a great treatment option for many. We usually identify two categories: “active” (expression using an instrument or via song) and “passive” (listening to music to stimulate creativity and well-being) music therapy, both of which offer numerous benefits.

First among the positive effects several studies have attributed to music therapy is that it can improve daily life by boosting your mood, reducing anxiety and improving sleep. In the elderly, music therapy even has a beneficial impact on symptoms linked to dementia and Parkinson’s.

Why not look into music therapy yourself? It could transform your everyday life!
