Pilates: the importance of movement

Movement can have positive impacts on reducing anxiety by releasing endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. It also helps to distract from worries and negative thoughts, and can improve overall mood.

Physical activity also helps to reduce muscle tension, which can be a physical symptom of anxiety. Additionally, regular exercise has been linked to improved sleep, which is often disrupted by anxiety.

In summary, movement can help reduce anxiety by promoting physical and mental well-being, and by providing a healthy outlet for stress and tension.
