Hi there, welcome to my blog about progressive muscle relaxation!
I am currently in my 3rd year studying
occupational therapy and I am writing this blog for the ‘Transition to Practice’
course. We were required to choose a topic of interest that we think may
benefit our peers, potential colleagues and others who it could appeal to.
I first encountered progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) when I was
on my Mental Health placement at the beginning of the year. I was working alongside
an occupational therapist that worked with clients out in the community who
suffered from a mental illness. She performed PMR on me and I also
watched as she would use it on her clients. Once I had seen it and experienced
it a few times, I started to use it on a few clients myself and the feedback I received
from those clients was always positive. Since that placement, I have been very
keen on this intervention and I think it can be useful for others to know
about, which is exactly why I chose to write this blog about it.
Over a period of time, my blog will cover several aspects of
PMR, including:
- Defining PMR, the different types and where it all came from.
- Diaphragmatic breathing and why this is important.
- The benefits of PMR.
- Client’s perspectives on PMR.
- Where PMR can be carried out.
- How PMR is carried out.
If you find any of this information useful or you would like to share your thoughts or experiences, please don’t hesitate as I would love to hear from you :-)
