Week 2 Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Progressive muscle relaxation is a relaxation technique that involves alternating tension and relaxation in all of the body’s major muscle groups. In progressive muscle relaxation, we focus on the sensations of tension in one particular muscle group at a time. Then when we release that tension, we focus on the sensations of relaxation in that same muscle group. We move progressively from one muscle group to another through our whole body, repeating the tension and relaxation.
