Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music to help improve the physical and mental health of patients. When administered by a credentialed professional as part of an individualized therapeutic plan, music has been proven to reduce pain, anxiety and stress in patients. It can have a positive effect on overall physical rehabilitation by motivating patients to become more involved in their treatment through increased communication and by offering an outlet for patients to express their feelings.
Through our Integrative Care program, Fox Chase offers music therapy for all patients, caregivers and adult family members.
