Progressive Muscle Relaxation For Anxiety

This is a 6-minute Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a stress-reduction method in which you systematically tense and then relax different muscle groups in your body, helping you recognise the difference between tension and relaxation, thereby promoting deeper physical calm and reducing anxiety. It is often practised from feet to head. The technique involves briefly holding tension (without strain) and then fully releasing it, focusing on the pleasant sensation of release, while practising deep breathing throughout. It can be beneficial for managing stress, insomnia, and chronic pain.
