Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) for Sleep
“Here’s a guided PMR practice I recorded to support you to relax your body in preparation for sleep”
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a relaxation technique which works by alternating tensing groups of muscles and then releasing them, along with the breath releasing. In the exercise you experience the feeling of physical tension and then the contrast of letting the tension release.
Research has shown PMR to be helpful for sleep through inducing relaxation and reducing anxiety which improves sleep quality.
If you’re experiencing issues with sleep listen to this recording as you go to sleep tonight. And remember to book in to see your General Practitioner for a check up and support options, if sleep issues are ongoing.
