What is Progressive Muscle Relaxation?
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a technique where you tense and then relax different muscle groups in your body. This helps you notice where you hold stress and teaches you how to let it go. It's a simple practice that can make a big difference in how you feel.
This timer walks you through each step. You choose how long to hold the tension and how long to relax. You pick which areas of your body to focus on. Then the timer guides you through the whole session.
