Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a stress-management mindfulness technique. The idea behind PMR is that there is a relationship between a person's mind and body.
It works by helping to relieve physical tension, such as tight, aching muscles, through a simple process of tensing and relaxing specific muscle groups.
PMR is a two-step practice: first, you actively tense targeted muscles; then, you release that tension and pay attention to how your body feels in its relaxed state. This technique can help reduce overall stress and physical discomfort, and support a greater sense of calm when you're feeling anxious.
