PME & CONTENT OF THE APP
In the pro version there are all versions of the PME (beginner status): the basic form with 17, 2 short forms with 7 and 4 muscle groups and the mental form (body scan).
PME according to Edmund Jacobson is a scientifically recognized relaxation method that helps to achieve a state of deep relaxation through muscle tension and relaxation. The PME is a - scientifically proven - very effective relaxation method; it is recommended by doctors for numerous symptoms, mostly stress-related, such as:
• tension
• Migraines or headaches
• inner unrest
• Sleep disorders
• Back/pain
• States of excitement, fear of exams
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• High blood pressure
• psychosomatic complaints
• Burnout, ...
With regular practice you can reach even deeper states of relaxation. Once you've had enough practice with the basic form, you can move on to the short forms and finally just mentally relax with the body scan.
All forms of PME are instructed and practiced in this app.
