🎧 Music in Motion: Can It Boost Sport Performance and Reduce Pain? 🎽

Music isn't just background noise — it’s a therapeutic tool with powerful effects. This fascinating article explores how music can help improve motor control, enhance movement timing, reduce perceived exertion, and even modulate pain.

For individuals managing chronic pain or recovering from injury, music may offer a way to regain control over their bodies and movements by influencing both physical and emotional responses.
