Muscle relaxation
With progressive muscle relaxation – PMR for short – you learn how to tense and relax different muscle groups.
Many young people find this exercise very effective.
This is how the exercise works:
- You can do this exercise while sitting or lying down.
- You will feel the difference between the tension and relaxation of muscles that you might not otherwise notice.
- First, tense your muscles from head to toe, one after the other. Hold the tension for a moment, and then relax the muscles again.
- You can feel how much more pleasant the relaxation is than the tension!
