CORPORATE-SPONSORED HEALTH & WELLNESS PROGRAMS
With mounting concerns about obesity and diabetes, employers across the country are seeking
ways to inspire people to become healthier. Drumming With Nina is a leader in creating health
and wellness programs for corporations and communities. Research shows that Health and
Wellness in the Workplace programs are not only good for your employees, but they are also
good for business.
PROMOTING HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE
At least 25 percent of the healthcare costs incurred by working adults are attributed to modifiable
health risks such as poor diet and lack of exercise. Programs which promote Health and
Wellness in the Workplace are leading the way to healthier happier employees and ultimately l
ower healthcare costs.
DOCUMENTED MEDICAL BENEFITS OF DRUMMING
.
Blood samples from participants of an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal of the
hormonal stress response and an increase in natural killer cell activity (Bittman, Berk, Felten,
Westengard, Simonton, Pappas, Ninehouser, 2001, Alternative Therapies, vol. 7, no. 1).
DEPRESSION (BOLD the topics))
Stanford University School of Medicine conducted a study with 30 depressed people over 80
years of age and found that participants in a weekly music therapy group were less anxious,
less distressed and had higher self-esteem(Friedman, Healing Power of the Drum, 1994).
CANCER
Subjects who participated in a clinical trial using drums and drumming showed an increase in
natural killer cell activity and an enhanced immune system. While this does not indicate a cure
for cancer, such results may be of benefit for those facing this disease. (Bittman, Berk, Felten,
Westengard, Simonton, Pappas, Ninehouser, 2001, Alternative Therapies, vol. 7, no. 1).
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
According to Clair, Bernstein and Johnson (1995), Alzheimer’s patients who drum can connect
better with loved ones. The predictability of rhythm may provide the framework for repetitive
responses that make few cognitive demands on people with dementia.
PARKINSON’S DISEASES AND STROKE
Rhythmic cues can help retrain the brain after a stroke or other neurological impairment, according
to Michael Thaurt, director of Colorado State University’s Center of Biomedical Research in Music.
Researchers have also discovered that hearing slow, steady rhythms, such as drumbeats, helps
Parkinson patients move more steadily (Friedman, Healing Power of the Drum, 1994).
Research shows that Health and Wellness in the Workplace programs are not only
good for your employees, but they are also good for business.
Promoting Health and Wellness in the Workplace is one of the best decisions an
employer can make. To invest in Health and Wellness in the Workplace is to invest
in your most valuable asset, your employees. At least 25 percent of the healthcare
costs incurred by working adults are attributed to modifiable health risks such as
poor diet and lack of exercise. Most executives know that programs which promote
Health and Wellness in the Workplace are the only way to have healthier happier
employees and ultimately lower healthcare costs.
