Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation

Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation is a technique that helps reduce stress by systematically tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in the body. The process involves focusing on each muscle group, intentionally tightening them for a few seconds, and then releasing the tension fully. This method trains your mind and body to recognize the difference between tension and relaxation, promoting a deep sense of calm and physical relaxation. It’s often used to manage anxiety, stress, and physical discomfort, and can be practiced on your own to improve overall relaxation and well-being.
