History of Music and Healing

The link between music and healing is an ancient one indeed, but only since the 1940’s has music therapy developed in a way that has truly proven beneficial for those with serious disabilities, mental illness, and psychological distress. Since that time, studies have increasingly shown that music and sound both promotes healing and increases wellness.

Research in music therapy continues to support its effectiveness within both complementary and conventional medicine. Worldwide, Music therapy has been used to address the physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals of all ages. Some of the most promising results have been found among the elderly, especially those suffering from Alzheimers and various types of dementia.

The rhythm of music is said to affect physiological processes, such as heart rate and breathing, and also prompts the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Today, more and more doctors, counselors, therapists and other medical professionals acknowledge the profound benefits of music therapy and its significant role in helping care for mentally and physically disabled people.
