What Is Movement Therapy?

Movement therapy broadens the process beyond walking with gentle, intentional activities such as stretching, grounding, posture awareness, and breathwork. The goal is embodied awareness—recognizing how emotions show up in the body and learning to release tension safely. This somatic work pairs well with mindfulness practices to deepen emotional regulation.

Efficacy of Walking, Movement & Ecotherapy

Integrating movement and nature into psychotherapy is associated with improved outcomes for anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Clients often report greater engagement, faster skill uptake, and longer-lasting benefits compared with talk therapy alone. When combined with CBT, DBT, executive functioning coaching, and mindfulness, this approach strengthens emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and stress recovery.
