PMR is a - scientifically proven - very effective relaxation method. It is recommended by doctors and therapists for many symptoms that are mostly stress-related, such as: • tensions • migraine or headache • inner unrest • sleep disorders • back pain / pain • states of excitement, • anxiety and panic attacks • high blood pressure • psychosomatic complaints • burnout • stress and much more With regular practice it is getting easier and easier to get into deeper relaxation states. If you have enough practice with the long form of PMR (Basic Form: 17 Muscle Groups), you can switch to the Short Forms with 7 and 4 Muscle Groups and finally to the mental form: Body Scan. Then you can relax your body just mentally. ALL COMMON 4 FORMS OF PMR • Basic Form (17 muscle groups) • Short Form I (7 muscle groups) • Short Form II (4 muscle groups) • Mental Form (Body Scan) for BEGINNER, ADVANCED and EXPERIENCED are taught and practiced in this app. This provides a total of 12 complete versions of the PMR. BASIC FORM: 17 MUSCLE GROUPS 1. Right hand and forearm 2. Right upper arm 3. Left hand and forearm 4. Left upper arm 5. Forehead 6. Upper cheek part and nose 7. Lower cheek part and jaw 8. Neck 9. Chest, shoulders and upper back 10. Abdominal 11. Buttocks and pelvic floor 12. Right thigh 13. Right lower leg 14. Right foot 15, 16, 17 (-> left side) SHORT FORM I: 7 MUSCLE GROUPS 1. Right hand, forearm, and upper arm 2. Left hand, forearm and upper arm 3. Forehead, cheek part, nose and jaw 4. Neck 5. Chest, shoulders, back, abdominal, buttocks and pelvic floor 6. Right thigh, lower leg and foot 7. Left thigh, lower leg, and foot SHORT FORM II: 4 MUSCLE GROUPS 1. Both hands, forearms and upper arms 2. Face and neck 3. Chest, shoulders, back, abdominal, buttocks and pelvic floor 4. Both thighs, lower legs and feet MENTAL FORM: BODY SCAN Guided relaxation through the whole body, starting from the face to the feet. This guide is the last stage of the PMR, in which the perception is directed to individual parts of the body without tensing them. The relaxation is now only mental. Soothing imaginations will help you. MUSIC & NATURE SOUNDS You can choose between 5 relaxing music tracks and 17 nature sounds. The volume levels can be adjusted individually. If desired, music and sounds can also be used alone (without voice) to relax or fall asleep. OUTRO: FOR SLEEPING / WITH RETURN At the end of the exercises, there is an Outro for falling asleep or with return, which can also be omitted. DURATION OF TENSION & PAUSES FOR RELAXATION Select your preferred duration for tension and relaxation between the muscle groups. TIMER FUNCTION After the end of the exercise an unlimited time for the music and nature sounds can be set so to deepen your relaxation. NOTE This app can and should be used offline (flight mode).}

This app helped me establish PMR as a bedtime routine, because it’s so easy to use. I especially love setting the background music with waves and wind sounds, as it helps lull me to sleep after the exercise is finished. Worth every penny - everyone needs to try PMR as part of their sleep hygiene protocol ❤️.

I learned about Jacobson progressive muscle relaxation recently and that it does wonders for someone’s piece of mind. Even though the technique is simple, it was challenging to get it right until I found this app. It delivers! The voice is very soothing, gives right instructions, you can choose level of tension and relaxation, as well as music and even play music while you are falling asleep. Thank you for developing this app - I felt the effect right after the first session. I already recommend it to my friend.

I have been using this app for several months almost every day after work and it helps me relax and center. There are many ways you can tweak the settings to meet the different needs you have each day. My favorite is the whole body, 17 phases which lasts about 25 minutes. The gentle ocean surf and seagulls (my favorites) and the calming voice bring me peace and serenity. I highly recommend this app!

My son’s psychologist recommended 30 minutes to one hour of PMR daily to reduce his anxiety, and it has greatly improved his sleep quality as well. We both now practice it daily. I was looking for an app, instead of a website, so that I could allow it even when all other functions are blocked on his phone or iPad. That way if he wakes up in the middle of the night he can use it on his own to go back to sleep. This app is perfect! I love how easy it is to adjust the different background sounds, and with the layers of background sound, I didn’t notice any looping of the sound tracks like I often do with background noise generators. To be honest I was a little concerned it would be difficult to set up- since there were so many choices, but I just went with the preset options on the “Basic Form,” removed the sound of the seagulls (it’s a sliding volume scale on the screen while it plays,) reduced the volume of the music and waves, and began on a perfect 24 minute PMR session. I’m so glad I took a chance on this one. Without many reviews and a trial option, I was a bit nervous it would be a dud, like the last app I downloaded. Let’s face it- if you can’t stand the voice of the narrator- it won’t be very relaxing. But this narrator’s voice, with her clear and calm British accent works just fine for me! Also- thank you to the developer for the “one time” pricing. Subscription services are obnoxious and financially ruinous. I really think this app is worth the $5.99 price tag. A lot of work went into the customization options. One request for a change on the new update- a different icon instead of a peacefully resting model. It will likely raise questions if his friends see that.

I am a psychologist who uses PMR with my clients regularly. This is, in my opinion, the best app available for teaching/practicing PMR. There is great flexibility to suit all levels of experience as well as individual preferences for the sound environment.
