Sharp and Flat’s “Theraplaying” Program

Theraplaying is a personalized, music-based therapy platform designed to improve motor control and quality of life for people with Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. The program centers on a renewable 12-week therapeutic guitar program that combines patented adaptive hardware, movement-tracking technology, and a curated therapeutic music library to guide arm movement, improve coordination, and encourage dopamine release. The approach is supported by published research demonstrating improved movement control and therapeutic engagement. With a defined Durable Medical Equipment (DME) reimbursement pathway and a credentialing program with curriculum for occupational and physical therapists, Theraplaying creates a scalable model that can transform how neurological rehabilitation and music-based therapy are delivered.
