Music therapy can be a powerful support for people living with brain injuries or neurological disorders. That’s because music naturally connects with areas of the brain that help with movement, speech, mood, and coordination One of the most helpful parts of music is rhythm. Your brain and body respond strongly to a steady beat, which help in retraining gait & coordination, supporting movement and reducing freezing episodes. Singing and vocal exercises can help strengthen your voice and breathing over time and playing instruments can aid fine motor skill recovery, particularly in upper limb rehabilitation.

In music therapy sessions, we might also:

• Use music as an alternative way to connect if speech is compromised or unavailable.

• Sing or play instruments to support speech and coordination

• write songs or improvise music to explore feelings and reduce frustration

• Listen to or create music that lifts your mood and reduces stress

You don’t need any musical background to benefit. Music helps your brain and body work together in new ways, supporting movement, connection, and emotional well-being.

Even on days when things feel difficult, music offers a way to reconnect with yourself and feel more in control.
