What is MOVEMENT THERAPY? Movement Therapy is the use of body motion to induce affective physiological functions. Movement therapy may include bodywork methods such as awareness and education, breathing and emotional expression, muscle and tissue manipulation, and targeted movement patterns
In general, movement therapy is practiced to treat the whole person. Used to enhance mind-body awareness and promote healthier constitutions, movement therapy is considered safe and noninvasive when instructed by a trained practitioner.
A few types of movement therapy are Aston patterning, the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Hellerwork, Pilates, and Trager work.
Often, movement therapy helps in releasing tension and giving relief from musculoskeletal pain, and in gaining overall heightened awareness.
