Music Therapy

Arts in Medicine offers music therapy which is especially effective for patients with pulmonary diseases, including asthma, cystic fibrosis, and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Breath-enhancing exercises allow patients to develop a self-management plan while strengthening their pulmonary capabilities, increasing their motivation and improving the results of rehabilitation. No musical experience is required.

Interventions Include:

  • Harmonica playing
  • Music-based breathing exercises
  • Singing

Music therapy is also provided in other departments and in conjunction with other treatments. If you are interested in music therapy, speak with your nurse, therapist or physician or contact us:
