This section introduces Dance Movement Therapy as a mind-body approach to healing. DMT supports physical and emotional integration by using movement to express feelings, reduce fatigue, and improve body image. Research highlights its benefits for reducing depression, anxiety, and cancer-related fatigue.

The section emphasizes that movement doesn’t need to be “dance” in the traditional sense—it can be as simple as posture shifts, gestures, or breathing. DMT encourages patients to reconnect with their bodies, find joy in movement, and cultivate resilience through expression.
