From January, mentally ill people can get to know and practise the easy-to-learn relaxation method "PMR" once a week in a group at the Salzgitter Health Department in Salzgitter-Bad without any pressure to achieve perfection.

People with mental health problems in particular are all too familiar with negative emotional states such as anxiety, nervousness and stress from their everyday lives. As a result of constant unpleasant emotions and worries, the muscles automatically tense up, which can become a permanent condition. Mental pain intensifies and physical pain symptoms often result.

With the help of "PMR", participants learn to consciously tense the individual muscle groups in their body and to relax them again in a targeted manner. This makes it easier to let go on a physical, mental and emotional level and become more relaxed.

The group starts on Tuesday, November 4, in the medical library of the health department in Salzgitter-Bad, Paracelsusstraße 1-9.

The course lasts eight weeks and takes place every week on Tuesdays from 2 to 3.30 pm.

Participation is free of charge.
