Deep Muscle Relaxation
Deep Muscle Relaxation (DMR) sessions release tension, reduce stress and are one of the most popular sessions amongst male users due to it being a more body-based technique.
It can be effective in moments of high stress or nervousness or for reducing anxiety, helping you to switch off at the end of the day and improving sleep.
DMR is based upon the simple practice of tensing one muscle group at a time, followed by a relaxation phase with the release of the tension.
By recognising the difference in feeling between tense and relaxed, you can induce a relaxation response which calms the mind and reduces tension in the body.
Try a session of DMR following a hard training session or match to enable you to unwind more effectively.
The Thrive app will walk you through the technique step-by-step, so why not give it a go today.
