How to reduce stress with progressive muscle relaxation
Many people experience anxiety and stress in their bodies. Tense muscles, headaches and general body pains brought on by stress can get in the way of engaging in life. This technique can help.
Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) teaches you how to relax your muscles using a two-step process of tensing and then relaxing, paired with when you inhale and exhale. This exercise aims to help you lower your overall tension and go about your day to day activities in a more relaxed and efficient manner.
Watch Nicole Walter, an occupational therapist at McMaster Childrenโs Hospital, demonstrate the technique for PMR. If you have problems with pulled muscles, broken bones, or any medical issues that would hinder physical activity, consult your doctor first before attempting PMR.
