Descrição

Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Anxiety is a form of therapy that was created by the American physician Edmund Jacobson. It was based on the evidence that physical relaxation can promote mental relaxation and a better health.

Jacobson found that you can relax a muscle by tensing and then releasing it. He also discovered that doing so can relax the mind and improve the general wellbeing.

Recent research showed that PMR:

Reduces anxiety

Improves sleep

Eases neck, jaw and back pain

Improves systolic blood pressure

Decreases frequency of migraine attacks

To get the most benefits of PMR you can:

Set aside 15 to 20 minutes for PMR. Do it in a quiet, comfortable area.
Turn off your phone to avoid distractions.
Inhale deeply when you tense your muscles and exhale fully when you relax.
Wear loose, lightweight clothing.
Practice PMR even when you’re feeling calm, especially in the beginning. This will make it easier to learn the method.

This audio that will guide you through this process.
