MED2029 (SENT ON BEHALF OF DR. KAUSHAL NANAVATI) -- Weekly Wellness PEARL

[Barbara Glover]

Good morning,

Each weekly message includes a technique that can support your well-being and is grounded in scientific evidence and practical application.  Incorporating these strategies into your daily routine can significantly enhance your overall health and wellness.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

  *   Scientific Evidence: PMR is effective for reducing muscle tension and anxiety by alternating tensing and relaxing muscle groups.
     *   Reference: Bernstein, D. A., & Borkovec, T. D. (1973). Progressive relaxation training: A manual for the helping professions. Champaign, IL: Research Press.
  *   Daily Implementation:
     *   Practice PMR before bed.
     *   Use PMR before stressful events.
     *   Try PMR during study breaks.

Have a great day!
