Just now I gave the music headset to a patient who struggles with words, mobilization and perhaps even feeling isolated with his challenges, and I played Elvis. He stated in a whisper ‘It’s nice’ as he comforted his therapeutic dog that sat on his lap.
The intervention of music has brought a whirlwind of positivity to our program, and I see a vast number of benefits to the patients.
