Dr. Ida P. Rolf (1896-1979) developed a body of work that was concerned not so much with the alleviation of symptoms, but with the potential of human body.

Music Therapy Is Likely Already In Your Life
Music Therapy is Likely Already in Your LifeAuthor: Cindy Browne
Music therapy just doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves. Many people think it is nothing more than just a crock. Yet it can be a very effective form of therapy for people of all ages. Think about the music you listen to and you will find you give yourself a type of therapy with it. Do you listen to certain music when you are mad or sad to help you feel better? Do you have a favorite CD you pop in after work on the ride home to reduce stress from a hard a day at the office?
Think about the types of music you hear when you go to certain locations. What do you hear at the doctor and dentist office? Likely it is soft flowing music that could put you to sleep if you relax too long in the waiting room. There is a reason for such music to be offered there though. It is to help you relax as they know many individuals become quite anxious before their appointments.
