Why instruct an NMT™ Therapist? 

An NMT™ Therapist acting as an Expert Witness under CPR Part 35 can provide the court with a specialist report that offers objective, evidence-based insights into the functional impact of neurological injury following an incident of medical negligence or personal injury. Drawing on clinical expertise, the expert can assess impairments across motor, cognitive, communication, and emotional domains, and outline the role and outcomes of NMT™ interventions in the individual’s recovery. Due to the unique impact of music on the brain, an NMT™ assessment can provide valuable report information, supporting the court in understanding the claimant’s current and future therapeutic needs, potential for functional improvement, and long-term implications for quality of life and care planning. Such evidence can be pivotal in informing judgments on liability, damages, and rehabilitation provisions.
