At Preston Music Therapy, we recognise the growing body of research supporting music as a powerful, evidence-based approach for people living with chronic pain. Music therapy can help address not only the physical aspects of pain, but also the emotional and social challenges that often accompany it.
Recent studies have shown that music-based interventions may improve emotional regulation, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance social connection. The most effective outcomes are seen when therapy is tailored to individual music preferences and supports autonomy and self-management — principles that are central to our practice.
