Musical Therapy Is Real
Music doesn’t only ease emotional pain; it can also tackle physical pain. Music therapy is a real technique that scientists have studied. For instance, research in the Frontier of Psychology found that music soothed people with Fibromyalgia, relaxing their muscles and allowing for greater mobility.
When you select the right music, the body releases endorphins to pull you away from the pain, says the British Journal of General Practice. Oddly enough, participants felt better from music selected by a friend than their preferred music. Perhaps the community aspect plays a role.
