Movement psychotherapy is a unique approach that combines sports activity and psychotherapy and can only be performed by a professional therapist who has appropriate psychotherapeutic and interdisciplinary coaching training as well as knowledge in physiotherapy.

The fact that states of mind affect our body and health in various ways is now quite well known and psychosomatic medicine is gaining ground. However, the latest research confirms that the relationship between body and soul is much stronger than it seemed, and this relationship also applies in reverse. If we treat our bodies appropriately, this will soon be reflected in the quality of our psychological experience. And this is the basis of psychosomatics.

In today's society we are used to using mainly verbal expression. Movement can help us express what words are not enough to express.

Movement is our nature and it is important both in communication with ourselves and with others. Our inner attunement, emotional and mental rituals, motivations and experiences are manifested in movement. Movement can help us express, feel and understand what words cannot.

Movement psychotherapy is one of the most powerful somatopsychic weapons, its effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety and stress disorders has been clearly demonstrated (see for example the extensive clinical research of the American psychiatrist Neil Nedley).

The client chooses the physical difficulty of the movement therapy himself in consultation with the therapist, while it is true that there is no client who is too "unfit" for sports psychotherapy. A variety of movement approaches can be chosen, depending on the client's state of health. From relaxing stretching exercises, to nature walks, to more physically demanding sports (e.g. fitness, tennis, cycling, in-line and other sports).

At the beginning of the therapy, the client learns to listen more deeply to his body and to recognize which kind of movement brings him psychological relief and joy. Also in the later stages, movement activities are linked to verbal psychotherapy. The client is given the unique opportunity to try out a variety of sporting activities in a safe environment and, together with the therapist, choose which ones they want to incorporate into their everyday life. During movement psychotherapy, the client's secondary goals can be respected, such as increasing fitness, adjusting body weight and other positive influences on the individual's psyche.
