Move away from the fight or flight stress response to the Rest and Relax response.
Guided progressive muscle relaxation that takes you on a specific, individualized journey through your body. This is great for these high stress times to ease pain and tension with the help of an expert. Some areas we can address: headaches and muscle aches; poor posture patterns; general anxiousness.
This progressive muscle relaxation reduces stress and anxiety in your body by having you slowly tense and then relax each muscle. This is combined with deep breathing instruction. It can provide an immediate feeling of relaxation.
During this time, each muscle should be tensed, but not to the point of strain. If you have any injuries or pain, we will skip the affected areas. You will pay special attention to the feeling of releasing tension in each muscle and the resulting feeling of relaxation.
