Physical therapy can play a supportive role in mental health by promoting movement, which has well-documented benefits for mood and stress relief. Regular physical activity releases endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers, while also reducing anxiety and depression symptoms. Physical therapists can tailor programs to individual needs, making exercise accessible and enjoyable, which builds confidence and fosters a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, techniques like breathing exercises, mindfulness, and stretching help individuals manage stress and feel more connected to their bodies. By addressing both physical and emotional well-being, physical therapy offers a holistic approach to improving mental health.
