NOW THAT’S
WHAT I CALL…
MUSIC THERAPY

How would you feel if, instead of pills and ointments, your doctor prescribed you a Spotify playlist?

It may sound bizarre, but research into Music Therapy has shown that listening to (and making) music can play a significant role in treating conditions like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, chronic pain, and PTSD. From restoring movement with rhythm to unlocking lost memories, music engages the brain in ways few other things can.

Could we soon see music playing a bigger role in our healthcare systems? And what are the best songs to listen to if we want to treat ourselves?
