9. Dance Therapy
Dance therapy rests on movement, but not only to improve fitness. Like certain other exercises, dance encourages a mind-body connection, and that can speed up healing and relieve anxiety. Regular dance classes can improve quality of life and self-image; research shows that six months of dance therapy brings a noticeable improvement in psychological function among fibromyalgia patients, and can significantly reduce their perception of pain. But don’t dismiss the physical benefits: better posture, alignment and flexibility that come with dance means less muscle tension and trigger point build-up, too.
