Explore the healing power of music for stroke survivors and their families in this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast.
Rich Moats, music therapist with AdventHealth, joins Rachel Moalli and Alana Jackson, two leaders with the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, to discuss a groundbreaking community project that unites professional musicians, certified music therapists, stroke survivors and their caregivers to make music and improvise together. It’s called STROKESTRA®. To bring the international rehabilitation program to Central Florida, these two organizations joined forces with the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, who pioneered the program in the UK.
Tune in to this episode to learn more about:
· How the partnership between the Dr. Phillips Center and AdventHealth began
· The effect music has on the brain after experiencing a stroke
· What STROKESTRA is like and the impact it’s making on everyone involved
· How the arts can benefit whole-body health
When we think about health, it's something that happens in every aspect of our lives — where we live, where we work, where we play — and it's really important the arts and culture are involved and considered as part of an integral part of the fabric of what it means to promote health and well-being,” Jackson said.
