Question

When should you suggest a client use progressive muscle relaxation?

Answer 1

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique used to teach individuals the difference between the feeling of a tensed muscle and the feeling of a relaxed muscle. It is carried out by having the subject tense a specific muscle and then relax it, so they can distinguish between the sensation of the two states. This is used for individuals who have high levels of tension, stress and anxiety and helps to relax them.
