Progressive muscle relaxation is carried out by sequential contraction and relaxation of verbally exposed muscle groups. A pause is 5-7 s after each contraction and 5-15 s after relaxation. A cycle of contractions and relaxations of the muscle group is followed by visualisation with using the 'tree' image. The sessions are performed once a week at the same time for 8 weeks with using a tape record of the patient's action sequence text.EFFECT: method enables reducing arterial pressure, correcting lifestyle and increasing compliance within an integrated approach to AH treatment by using various types of treatment. |
