And as we believe this is another way of letting other people knows what and how we feel, when we are muted by our words. Well, what is the relation of music on the upcoming event the 1^st Filipino Therapist Expo and Conference?

Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and psyche.In fact there is also a growing field of health care as Music Theraphy which uses music to heal. Music Therapy is an allied health profession and a field of scientific research which studies correlations between the process of clinical therapy and biomusciology, musical acoustics, music theory, psychoacoustics and comparative musicology. Music therapists are found in nearly every area of the helping professions. Some commonly found practices include developmental work (communication, motor skills, etc.) with individuals with special needs, songwriting and listening in reminiscence/orientation work with the elderly, processing and relaxation work, and rhythmic entrainment for physical rehabilitation in stroke victims.

In line with this growing demand for the Music Therapist, the 1^st Filipino therapist is privileged to have one of the Practitioners on the said field. Ms. Celeste Sanchez a Music Therapist will share her knowledge and wide experience on this very specialized field.
