1/1
Music therapy is the use of music for a particular purpose or purposes, chosen for the needs of a particular individual or group.
Studies indicate that music therapy can:
- Manage stress, anxiety and deprression
- Alleviate pain
- Reduce nausea or vomiting induced by chemotherapy or radiation
- Promote wellness
Music therapy is provided by a trained professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. You can do music therapy on your own by listening to soothing music in a relaxed setting. If you don't already have a device with music that you can take with you to a doctor's office or treatment center, MP3 players are inexpensive. With a pair of inexpensive headphones, you can be peaceful without disturbing other people.
Find a music therapist by asking a social worker at your local treatment center or go to the website of American Music Therapy Association at www.musictherapy.org/
