Muscle Relaxation Overview

Muscle relaxation is a method of taking tension out of muscles and relaxing them. In English, it is called progressive muscle relaxation.
Therefore, it is also called relaxation therapy.

It can be effective when tinnitus is caused by poor blood flow due to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, for example.
This method should be tried by all those who have tinnitus due to stiff shoulders or posture.

How to do the muscle relaxation method

The muscle relaxation method is a method of relaxing a tense area by repeatedly putting all your strength into the area and then relaxing it immediately.

In the case of tinnitus, the muscles in the shoulders and neck are often tense, so let's look at the shoulders and neck.

Relaxing the shoulders

In the case of the shoulders, close the sides.
Then, raise your shoulders up so that they are close to your ears with all your strength.
Hold this position for a few seconds (about 5 seconds).
Then, relax your shoulders.

Repeat 3-5 times.

Relax your neck

Pull back the chin and tense the back of the neck.
Hold that position for a few seconds (about 5 seconds).

Then, relax.
