1. MUSICA MEDICA

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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...).

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.
