Music therapy: The healing power of sound for body and soul

Dr. Evangelia Papanikolaou, an expert in music therapy, discusses the benefits of this alternative treatment for physical and mental health

Vicky Veniou March 10 07:00

Music is a universal language that resonates deeply with us all. It accompanies our daily lives, providing comfort, inspiration, and emotional expression. But beyond its cultural and personal significance, music has the power to heal.

Music therapy harnesses the transformative power of sound to enhance well-being on multiple levels, addressing individual needs in various contexts. Historically, it gained traction in the United States as a therapeutic approach to help World War II veterans cope with trauma.

According to Dr. Evangelia Papanikolaou, an expert in music therapy, this practice effectively supports both physical and mental health. Listening to music activates more regions of the brain than any other human activity, making it a powerful tool in managing psychological disorders, chronic illnesses, and neurological conditions.

Who Can Benefit?

Music therapy offers relief for a wide range of individuals, from those struggling with mental health challenges to patients dealing with chronic pain and neurodegenerative diseases.

🎧 Listen to Dr. Evangelia Papanikolaou as she delves into the benefits of this alternative therapy in the podcast below.
