ABOUT PMR & CONTENT OF THE APP
Edward Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) - also called Deep Muscle Relaxation - is a scientifically recognized relaxation method that helps to get into a state of deep relaxation through muscle tension and relaxation. PMR is a very effective relaxation method. It is recommended by doctors and therapists for many symptoms that are mostly stress-related, such as:

• tensions
• migraine or headache
• inner unrest
• sleep disorders
• back pain / pain
• states of excitement
• anxiety and panic attacks
• high blood pressure
• psychosomatic complaints
• burnout
• stress and much more

With regular practice, you will always find it easier to get into deeper states of relaxation. Once you have enough practice with the long version of PMR (Basic Form), you can switch to the Short Forms and finally to the Mental Form (Body Scan). Then you can even relax your body mentally.
