Passive and Progressive Muscle Relaxation Techniques are mind-body exercises that are used in promoting a sense of control over physical tension in the body to help produce a sense of calm.
Promoting physical and mental relaxation before bed can help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Regular practice helps identify where you hold tension in your body, helping you respond to stress earlier and more efficiently.
Passive & Progressive Muscle Relaxation techniques can activate the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response of the autonomic nervous system - this leads to measureable reductions in blood pressure and heart rate.
