Interventions
Diaphragmatic breathing (DF), also known as belly or abdominal breathing, is a technique that can teach people how to use their diaphragm correctly while breathing, in order to activate the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system and to control stress.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a technique that is helpful in the reduction of stress. PMR by alternately tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in the body helps participants to become more aware of physical sensations and can be particularly helpful to muscle tension and relaxation.
