Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation | JPMR Full Audio English | Relaxation Therapy for Anxiety

Jacobsen’s progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) (Jacobsen 1938) is a procedure for achieving a condition of deep relaxation of the whole body through the voluntary and conscious tensing and relaxing of specific muscle groups. The individual muscle parts are initially tensed in a specific order, the muscle tension is held for a brief time and then released. The main aim is the deliberate, continuous reduction in tension in the individual muscle groups of the locomotor apparatus.
