Health Benefits of Music Therapy Music therapy is a form of healing that uses music to provide care to patients, in a manner that is outside of the box. While this is different than routine physical therapy or prescribing medicine, it should not be thought of as a form of alternative medicine. Clinical studies can vouch for the health benefits of a medically approved music therapy regimen. The beauty of music therapy is that it helps people in a physical, mental, emotional and social way. Therapists use music therapy in a variety of ways, including having people sing along to the music, meditate and relax while music plays and conduct various exercises and movements with music as the catalyst. When played in conjunction with a person's thoughts or movements, music therapy can help to improve everything from a patient's speech to their memory and physical balance. It also provides emotional healing, helping people to develop positive self-image and aids in prioritizing stress and pain. Music also helps people take their mind off of physical pain, which can help them cope with a number of ailments.

5 Remarkable Benefits of Music Listening to Positively Impact Your Health By Carol Benton July 20, 2020 Health and Fitness Do you listen to music on a regular basis? Maybe you tune the radio dial to a favorite station while you cook or pop in your earbuds when you head out for a walk. Personally, I’m such a dinosaur that I still enjoy the CDs from my large collection acquired over many years. Personal preferences in music for listening are closely connected with past experiences and associations. For example, many of us feel a special fondness for the “oldies” that were popular during our high school years. Similarly, couples may have a special song that holds emotional significance and reminds them of their courtship or wedding.
