How it works
Reduces skeletal muscle tension that accumulates under chronic stress. Creates body awareness of tension-relaxation contrast and activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
15–20 minute daily practice recommended. Audio guides make learning easier. Particularly effective for stress that manifests physically — tension headaches, jaw clenching, tight shoulders.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
