Built from the Frequency Music Academy
Five paced blocks, 45 minutes in total, assembled only from what the Academy lessons support: calming, attention, gentle paced movement, unloading and an evening wind-down. It sits alongside your movement therapy, heat and prescribed medication — it does not replace any of them, and it does not treat the arthritis itself.
Sit supported with the head balanced over the shoulders, shoulders heavy. Listen at a comfortable conversational volume and let the breath slow to the music rather than forcing it.
Why: Lower state anxiety and muscle guarding before any neck movement. Anxiety relief is the outcome measured here, not joint change.
If sitting upright provokes sharp pain, arm numbness, weakness or dizziness, stop and contact your clinician before continuing.

TM-101 · 8 min · Music therapy · Human trials support selected uses
Sit supported with the head balanced over the shoulders, shoulders heavy. Listen at a comfortable conversational volume and let the breath slow to the music rather than forcing it.
TM-102 · 10 min · Music therapy · Human trials support selected uses
Choose the track you actually like — preference matters more than any advertised frequency. Follow one instrument the whole way through instead of monitoring the ache.
TM-103 · 9 min · Music therapy · Early human evidence
With a slow steady beat, perform only the range your clinician approved: small chin nods, slow rotations, gentle shoulder rolls. One movement per bar, stopping well short of pain.
TM-104 · 8 min · Music therapy · Human trials support selected uses
Lie down or recline with the neck neutral and supported. Nothing to do but listen through to the end of the track.
TM-106 · 10 min · Music therapy · Human trials support selected uses
Use this block in the last half hour before bed, lights low, phone face-down. Set a sleep timer so nothing plays in your ears all night.
