Progressive Muscle Relaxation For Stress Reduction. Kinetic or movement related stress relief practices need not involve a lot of exertion to be effective. Progressive muscle relaxation, or PMR, is a stress relief technique that relies upon subtle rather than gross (large) muscular movements to promote relaxation and tension relief. Progressive muscle relaxation is based on the observation that it is easier for muscles to relax from a position of high tension than it is from a position of lower tension. The kind of muscular tension that causes headaches and bodily pains tends to be a sort of moderate residual tension that people walk around with (and may not notice) for days.
Relaxation in psychology, is the emotional state of a living being, of low tension, in which there is an absence of arousal that could come from sources such as anger, anxiety, or fear. According to the Oxford dictionary relaxation is when the body and mind are free from tension and anxiety. Relaxation is a form of mild ecstasy coming from the frontal lobe of the brain in which the backward cortex sends signals to the frontal cortex via a mild sedative.
