Who Founded HealthRHYTHMS?

The HealthRHYTHMS Group Empowerment Drumming Protocol was developed by neurologist Barry Bittman, MD in collaboration with Remo Inc.. Remo was interested in discovering ways to use the company's core competencies to make the world a better place.

At the conclusion of the study of the immune system effects, Christine K.
