Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a technique used to reduce stress and promote relaxation. It involves systematically tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in the body, helping to release physical tension and create awareness of bodily sensations. By focusing on each muscle group—starting from the feet and moving up to the head—PMR encourages a sense of calm and helps individuals identify areas of stress. This practice can improve overall well-being, enhance mental clarity, and aid in managing anxiety and stress-related symptoms. It’s a simple, effective tool for promoting relaxation in daily life.
