Mind Over Movement: The Mental Health Benefits of Physical Therapy
Movement isn’t just medicine for your body — it’s therapy for your mind. In this episode, Dr. Greg Goldberger explores the deep connection between physical and mental health. He breaks down how mindset influences recovery, why stress hormones like cortisol can impact pain, and how consistent movement can improve mood, sleep, and resilience.
You’ll learn why the right mindset can be just as powerful as the right exercise — and how physical therapy can help you break free from the stress-pain cycle to feel stronger, calmer, and more in control of your health.
Whether you’re an athlete rehabbing an injury or simply feeling stuck, this episode will remind you that movement is medicine — for every part of you.
