Therapeutic music is live acoustic music, tailored to the patient’s need. The music is designed to create an environment that will help a patient be able to heal.
Scientific studies have shown live therapeutic music to be beneficial for:
1.
Reducing Anxiety
Live music can create a calm environment, leading to better sleep, improved heart rates, and relaxation so patients are in a better state to heal.
2.
Decreasing isolation & loneliness
Music helps people connect in ways other avenues cannot.
3.
Distracting from pain
Live therapeutic music can increase endorphins and help improve the management of pain.
4.
Improving cognitive function
Music is one of the first things people respond to at the beginning of their lives and is also one of the last things people will respond to at the end of their lives.
“Therapeutic music reached the heart of my friend while she was in the hospital in a way that nothing else could. She opened her eyes and starting mouthing the words to a song that deeply moved her.”
