Explanation:
PMR is a healthy coping skill normally learned in any kind of psychiatric business. For example, I learned PMR while I was inpatient at a behavioral health unit. The way we did PMR was that we'd sit up in our chairs and start from the toes and on up. We squeezed our toes together for a few seconds and then released and then we'd do it a second time. After the toes, it would move up to the feet and we'd use the same process for that and for the rest of the joints.
