Music to contribute to the well-being of your seniors

La musique pour contribuer au bien-être de vos ainés

Music is known to improve the quality of life of elderly people in institutions as it promotes social health, improves general mood, encourages physical health, and reduces the risk of developing anxiety or depressive disorders1.

Indeed, when a person hears music, their brain releases a variable amount of dopamine, known as the well-being hormone2.

As healthcare professionals, you have the power to improve the quality of life of the residents around you by offering them moments with musical notes. As soon as the instruments are in their hands, you will observe smiles, emotions, connections, movements, in short: multiple signs of well-being.


inmu: an incredible tool for music therapy

Did you know that CDS Boutique attended the Vancouver music therapy conference in 2023 to present inmu, a multi-sensory cushion from Denmark? It was an extremely enriching experience that allowed many people to discover the benefits of this unique therapeutic tool. Intuitive: simply lift inmu and move it for its notes and vibrations to follow the rhythm of its user's movements. Your residents can thus enjoy music therapy without having to learn how to produce beautiful melodies. A complete experience focused on well-being and self-awareness!
