What is Neurologic Music Therapy?
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) is an evidence-based neuro-scientific model of practice consisting of 20 standardised clinical techniques, designed to improve the lives of people living with neurodisability. The techniques target three main domains: sensorimotor functioning, speech and language processing, and cognitive functioning.
Music can stimulate complex cognitive, affective, and sensorimotor processes in the brain that can be generalised and transferred to non-musical therapeutic applications, reinforcing the strong evidence-base for using music to improve patient outcomes, assist with rehabilitation, and help patients adapt during illness and injury.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Fill out a referral form ►” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”” outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1547401271228{margin-left: 30px !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}” el_class=”refformbtn” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brightonmusictherapy.co.uk%2Freferral-form%2F|||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/12″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1547399927124{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]
