Relaxation TherapyRelaxation therapy is a great way for individuals to reduce stress and promote mental healing. It focuses on progressive relaxation, which includes tightening and then loosening the muscles of the body to promote relaxation. While doing this, one must think of a peaceful thought, memory or image while taking deep, meditative breathes.
This helps to relax and calm the muscles as well as your thoughts. |
