Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

This brief audio recording will guide you through a progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercise. PMR is a useful way to manage your stress response by tensing your muscles and focusing your attention.

Essentially, it is a way to trigger your body’s relaxation response and can be a good strategy to decrease physical stress by tensing and then relaxing each muscle group in the body.¹⁻⁷
