Perhaps you’re thinking, “What is the benefit of Music Therapy?” or “Why would I want to participate?”

Last November, we had a meeting based on a presentation called “Music in the PD Brain” by Movement Disorder Specialist Matthew Brodsky, MD, describing how Music Therapy can enhance alternate brain pathways around the parts of our brain damaged by Parkinson’s.

Dr. Brodsky’s presentation can be viewed here:

Dr. Thomas L. Southern spoke with the group for the June 9, 2020 Meeting:

Pamlico Parkinson’s has adjusted to the new normal. Covid19 precautions have kept us from gathering in person for our semi-monthly support group meetings.

But as with Parkinson’s itself, we adapt; we now meet on line from the comfort of home via Zoom. We expanded as well, now meeting every Tuesday starting at 2pm.

If you would like to attend a meeting – contact Dave Mauney in advance at dave@towndock.net (you’ll need an invite to sign in).
