How it works
Reduces somatic tension that amplifies anxious cognition. Builds voluntary physiological control by teaching the contrast between tension and relaxation.
Best practised daily at a set time. Audio guides make it accessible. Particularly useful for people with somatic anxiety symptoms (muscle tension, jaw clenching, headache).
Multiple RCTs show significant reduction in trait anxiety and somatic symptoms. Endorsed in NICE anxiety guidelines as a self-help strategy.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
