PMR is a - scientifically proven - very effective relaxation method. It is recommended by doctors and therapists for many symptoms that are mostly stress-related, such as: • tensions • migraine or headache • inner unrest • sleep disorders • back pain / pain • states of excitement, • anxiety and panic attacks • high blood pressure • psychosomatic complaints • burnout • stress and much more With regular practice it is getting easier and easier to get into deeper relaxation states. If you have enough practice with the long form of PMR (Basic Form: 17 Muscle Groups), you can switch to the Short Forms with 7 and 4 Muscle Groups and finally to the mental form: Body Scan. Then you can relax your body just mentally.
