Music As Medicine particularly in Parkinson's

Provides an excellent and novel perspective on neurodegenerative conditions along with a positive outlook beyond classic pharma-driven western medicine. Definitely worth the investment to gain a distilled perspective on the influence of music on neurogenesis. The references alone are worth way more than the cost.

This book gives guidelines for using music as a tool when dealing with Parkinson’s symptoms. My husband seems to be learning a lot from it that he can use

Dr. Bryan’s work is not only engaging and easy to follow, but it addresses simple, effective techniques that individuals living with Parkinson’s can use to counteract the progression of the disease. Furthermore, these techniques can be used by individuals living with other forms of neurological difficulties, such as post-stroke effects, or individuals working through anxiety and depression. I see music through an entirely different lens as a practitioner in training myself and am ready to dive head first into researching ways to incorporate music into future therapies!

You could tell this author took a lot of time, effort, and research to write this book. There is wealth of information and backup as well as suggestions and examples of how music can help you in so many different ways. I have Parkinson"s so it has and will be a helpful book to use along the way. Stress is a big problem for people with Parkinson's so I will refer to this quite a bit.

This book has been so good for teaching about how music can affect your body

This is a well-researched and very well constructed book which is both easy to read and very informative. It benefits both the Parkinson sufferer and those with other neurological conditions and contains many helpful and practical tips and techniques, a number of which I personally have tried and found to be very beneficial.

A clearly written insight into the importance of music for everybody. The healing power of music, both listening to it and singing or playing an instrument is researched and discussed in the most helpful way. Specific suggestions given to support. This is so interesting, a wonderful book.

Very good research and very well-written. Very encouraging and positive - a must read for ppl suffering from Parkinson’s syndrome and other similar conditions. If you know someone, get it for them!

I found this book very well researched. I find the breathing exercises beneficial in helping relax tense shoulder muscles.Overall, a useful book to dip into when problems arise.

This book is well researched and informative. The writing style is such that the book is very accessible. Throwing new insight into the subject, the writer gives a personal perspective too.
