‘Music and Relaxation’ is offered as an individual or group music therapy program to our clients. Research has shown that listening to music can have a positive impact on our minds and bodies, including slowing the heartbeat, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress levels, relaxing muscles, and altering mood and thinking.
During the sessions, clients experience and learn strategies for applying music as a relaxation, stress and pain management tool. Clients are exposed to the soothing effects of classical music and acquire skills to combine listening to music with progressive muscle relaxation to improve their well-being and reduce stress. The music therapist supports the individual in learning muscle-relaxation techniques and exercises, and in choosing appropriate music.
Typically, the sessions are offered weekly for 30 minutes over a period of 4 months and are led by one registered and highly trained music therapist, with a maximum of 8 participants.
