In 1978, I set up the first private practice in Canada in the pioneering fields of Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. I feel honoured that more than 56,000 patients have put their trust and confidence in me and my clinic. A large part of what I do is education of patients and in that regard I have given over 12,000 lectures to my cardiac classes. Over the years many patients have suggested I should videotape my lectures. Now, as I get closer to my best-before date, I realize I should have tackled this chore decades ago. Podcasting may help me achieve this. Language: en-ca Genres: Health & Fitness, Medicine Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

When a Medical Problem Meets a Musical Solution
Sunday, 9 August, 2020
Lee Anna Rasar, Professor of Music Therapy, University of Wisconsin, shares with us her life passion of music therapy. She enlightens us regarding the many facets of how music is used for therapeutic purposes in a wide range of applications and indications. Going back 10 years, she connected with schamanMD at various conferences exploring the benefits of harmonica exercise and harmonica playing in medical therapeutic settings. Discussions shed light on the challenge of COVID-19, both from the point of you of potentially spreading the virus, or catching it, while using wind instruments and singing. The therapeutic use of harmonicas has a bearing on the potential of prevention of COVID-19, the use of harmonica exercise in those unfortunate enough to become infected, while they are in the throes of the disease, as well as in the rehabilitative phase for those that have recovered from COVID-19. At the end of this podcast you will know more about music therapy than you ever would have thought possible! After all, what could be better than solving a medical problem with a musical solution!
