Progressive Muscle Relaxation
When we are under stress from any cause, we tend to react by tensing up our muscles. One of the keys to interrupting the stress cycle and it’s effect on the body is through Progressive Muscle Relaxation.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a systematic technique for achieving a state of deep relaxation.
The idea is based on the fact that if you deliberately tense your muscles for a few seconds, this helps to fatigue the muscles enough to facilitate relaxation. It is easier to relax a tense muscle than trying to relax your muscles directly. Progressive Muscle Relaxation once learned can help put you to sleep, interrupt your stress build up, stop an impending panic attack from occuring. It can be used with deep breathing for relaxation.
