Clinical benefits

  • Breathing & relaxation: supports respiratory function and reduces muscle tension.
  • Natural pain relief: singing releases endorphins and oxytocin, reducing pain perception.
  • Distraction & flow: structured singing provides relief from the focus on pain.
  • Social connection: reduces loneliness and encourages peer support, improving resilience.
