Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a relaxation technique that involves tensing and then relaxing each muscle group in the body. By consciously tensing specific muscles and then releasing the tension, individuals can learn to differentiate between tension and relaxation in their body. This technique can help reduce stress, anxiety, and improve overall well-being.

During a PMR session, individuals are guided through a series of muscle groups starting from the toes and working their way up to the head. As each muscle group is tensed and then released, the individual focuses on the sensation of relaxation in the muscles. This process can help promote a sense of calmness and reduce physical tension in the body.
