Music Therapy Aids Healing

As a qualified music therapist myself, I see day in and day out that music therapy interventions dramatically impact people's health, well-being, social intergration and self of themselves. Musicatwork was created in order that music therapy sessions and training based on music therapy practices can be delivered in educational, healthcare, corporate and forensic settings.

The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital has been using music more and more as a highly effective clinical intervention. Professor Paul Robertson says, "We are approaching the point where a doctor would legitimately be negligent not to actually recommend music as a therapeutic intervention". The BBC have the full report online.

Across the board Creative Arts Therapies are increasingly playing their true role in treating and supporting people with a whole range of conditions such as depression, autism, cancer, PND, and ensuring that emotional healing from accidents or traumas can be healed alongside any physical damage.

Isn't time that the Creative Arts Therapies were as widely used and recognised as "convientional" medicine?!
