Music Therapy

Music therapy is one of the strongest supporting research creative arts therapies. Music therapy can be used for a variety of physical, psychological, and/or social conditions in patients of all ages. One of the unique factors to music therapy is that it can be used to catalyze physical and emotional changes that may seem unrelated to actual music interventions as temporary aids. Music therapy can use instruments or sound as a primary approach and can vary where each individual is different.

It is important to remember that many types of music are used in music therapy and patients do not need any kind of musical talent for therapy to be successful. Specific therapy is determined by the patient's perception of music, the patient's particular health condition, and the patient's goals for treatment.

The strength of music therapy is its ability to adjust the needs and perceptions of individual patients. Music therapy can be considered as a type of sensory stimulation which is very rich in its potential to access complex neural pathways using a non-pharmacological and non-invasive approach. Music therapy also has the benefit of being non-threatening and acceptable as a treatment in patients where other treatments have failed. Treatment with music therapy allows patients to deal with stress and symptoms of anxiety, pain and can provide safe conductivity to express challenging emotions or encourage patients or nurses to communicate more effectively.
