Jacobson's Progressively Relaxation Technique

Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation Technique is a method to reduce stress by systematically tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in the body. The process helps you become more aware of physical tension and learn to release it, promoting relaxation. Typically, you start at your feet, tense the muscles briefly, then relax them fully, moving gradually up through your body. This focused activity encourages a calming mental state, reduces physical stress, and can improve overall well-being. It’s a practical tool for managing anxiety, promoting better sleep, and fostering a sense of calm in daily life.
