Summary

Relaxation techniques are used for prevention and treatment of many diseases. The principle on which they are based relaxation technique is relatively simple. Induces one or more physical or psychological changes that are typical for relaxation. This then leads to further changes. It is a good influence on the physical features that would be difficult to directly influence, such as the secretion of adrenal hormones. This leads to total relaxation.

In addition to the overall relaxation is in place and clinical practice and applied partial relaxation. This can be practiced as an adjunct to general relaxation in everyday situations and to moderate stress or symptoms.

Key words:
relaxation, prevention, treatment.
