MUSICA MEDICA
 Musica Medica is an advanced therapy method that
uses music and musical vibrations to stimulate the
body and the brain.
 It is employed by doctors, chiropractors, physical
therapists and other experts to improve the
conditions of patients of all age groups.
 The Musica Medica device stores data from any
musical player and transforms it into acoustic
vibrations that are transmitted directly onto the
patient's skin.
Inventor:
 Musica Medica was invented by Prof. Y. Schiftan,
PhD from Switzerland, and was further researched
and perfected by Prof. A. Stadnicki, PhD from the
Academy of Special Education in Warsaw, Poland.
 Musica Medica is used everywhere in the world.
How does it work?
 When their body is exposed to the music and the
vibrations from Musica Medica, the patient feels the
vibrations through their skin and the body starts
acting like an instrument.
 The brain reacts by reactivating the sensory cells and
by motor reactions.
 It is important to bear in mind that different kinds of
therapy require different types of music (relaxing,
cheerful...).
 The neuron cells react to acoustic, visual and sensory stimuli.
 While the patient is listening to the music, the activity of the brain can be
monitored by PET and MRI imaging which prove that the most active parts
of the brain are Broca's area, the auditory centers and Wernicke's area, and
that brings us to the conclusion that Musica Medica improves both hearing
and speech.
Who is it intended for?
 Musica Medica is intended for patients with
impaired hearing, mental disorders, dyslexia,
hyperactivity, autism, psychological disorders
(depression, schizophrenia).
 It can also be employed for
educational purposes
(learning foreign languages,
concentration, memory),
as well as for relaxing and fun.
Case studies:
 Amputees who suffered from phantom pain said that
Musica Medica had completely relieved them of the
pain.
 People who were treated for depression showed signs
of significant improvement after the therapy.
''After I noticed that I reacted more intensely when I
listened to live music, I realized what was
missing...VIBRATIONS!!''
