Music therapy means I can now lift my hand again

A woman who was left paralysed on her left side after having a stroke has described music therapy as a “miracle”.

Jules Golden, 54, from Gamlingay, had a stroke about 18 months ago. She now attends music therapy sessions run by Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), in Cambridge.

The university runs a clinic for people who have either had a stroke or are living with a brain injury, helping them with their rehabilitation through music.

“The fact I now, after 18 months, can lift my hand, open it a little bit, and hold on to certain things, is a miracle,” Golden said.

“It is down to determination.

“I absolutely love coming here as it is the socialising… but because I have come here it has made such a difference to my life.

“I don’t know what I’d be without it.”
