Differential relaxation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term differential (or differential ) relaxation is the relaxation of all muscles that are unnecessary for a particular activity. In other words, the superfluous tension that does not contribute to behavior should be relieved. So it is about an economization of all activities. This economization is particularly interesting for athletes. In psychological pain therapy, unnecessary tension should be reduced in as many everyday situations as possible. Differential relaxation can be integrated with exercise options in everyday life. A then reduced level of excitement can be maintained throughout the day and can also be used for situation-specific relaxation.
