tel:07979-814388One of the main benefits of PMR is it can reduce the physical symptoms of stress and anxiety. Evidence of this comes from numerous sources including Stoppler M MD (2022), Singh V et al (2009) and Dehdari T (2007) work on post operative patients. When we are stressed, our muscles can tense up and if we are stressed often we can get tense often too. This in turn leads to aches, pains, and discomfort. By systematically relaxing or even tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in the body, PMR helps to release this tension and promote a state of deep relaxation. As a result, you should notice a decrease in physical symptoms of stress and anxiety such as headaches, backaches, and muscle tension.
