Progressive muscle relaxation by Jacobson
During this easy-to-learn relaxation method you lie down or sit in a quiet and warm surrounding. With the help of an experienced therapist you focus on the switch from tension to relaxation. In a certain sequence, single muscles are first tensed, hold and then relaxed. This deeply soothes the entire body and lowers the tension of muscles due to better physical awareness. This method is especially recommended for people suffering from high blood pressure, muscles tensions, sleeplessness, headaches, and physical problems.
