The precise movements required to play the handpan can significantly improve fine motor skills, as players learn to control each touch to produce the desired sound. This activity naturally promotes hand-eye coordination, a critical skill in daily life that helps improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Moreover, the soothing sounds of the handpan are grounded in the principles of sound therapy, where vibrations and harmonies play a key role in reducing stress levels, fostering relaxation, and contributing to emotional healing. The instrument's ability to induce a meditative state can help in muscle rehabilitation, focusing on muscle strength, flexibility, and recovery processes.

For NDIS clients, integrating handpan play into their rehabilitation or therapy programs could offer a multi-dimensional approach to healing and development, touching on physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of well-being.
