Stress Management

Elements of stress management may be incorporated into a physical therapy program, and relaxation exercises may be tailored to address specific motor problems.

Relaxation techniques may vary from deep breathing, visualization, and progressive muscle relaxation to local and generalized stretching. Stress management may also mean taking more time for leisurely activities. Yoga or a soft martial art such as Tai Chi may increase fitness and relaxation simultaneously. Meditation can create a mental refuge from stress and aggravation.
