Lifestyle
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
for Anxiety
Systematically tensing and releasing muscle groups throughout the body. One of the oldest and most well-validated relaxation techniques for anxiety.
How it works
Reduces somatic tension that amplifies anxious cognition. Builds voluntary physiological control by teaching the contrast between tension and relaxation.
What to watch for
Best practised daily at a set time. Audio guides make it accessible. Particularly useful for people with somatic anxiety symptoms (muscle tension, jaw clenching, headache).
