Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a CBT-I relaxation-practice tool for practitioners and insomnia clients. It helps the client follow a supplied sequence of tensing and relaxing muscle groups so they can practice lowering bodily tension or somatic arousal before or during sleep opportunities.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Practice Formats

The same supplied PMR content can be presented as a script, guided step mode, or supplied recording link when those formats exist.

Review Boundary

Optional reported effect or barrier notes are client-reported information for practitioner review, not system-derived effectiveness conclusions.

Content Boundary

Exact muscle groups, sequence wording, timing, and script content must be supplied. The product does not invent them.

Does the tool include a built-in PMR score?

No. Progressive Muscle Relaxation has no inherent structured score in this product.

Can the client pause and restart?

Yes. Interruption should allow resume or restart without creating a score from skipped steps.

Does the product create the PMR script?

No. Script, sequence, timing, and prompts must come from supplied content or practitioner-provided material.

What gets saved after demo exploration?

The PMR tool and delivery-format preference, if selected, are saved. Fictional practice notes and placeholder sequence data are not saved as real client data.
