Описание

Your doctor or health professional may have introduced you to progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) as part of a therapy. Our app helps you to go through PMR sessions by yourself.

Our PMR app guides you through a complete PMR session. It enables you to focus solely on your tension and relaxation. It tells you, by voice and in writing, what you need to do at what time within each exercise. Our three-dimensional model shows you how to tense and relax which muscles. The app leads you through a complete program and frees you from counting exercises, their timing and their sequence.

Choose your own rhythm by selecting the duration of the tension and relaxation phases yourself, as well as the number of iterations for each exercise. This allows you to vary between a 3-minute short session and a long relaxation program lasting a quarter or half an hour.

Our app offers you a selection of pleasant voices to guide you through your PMR session. You can adapt the pace and the pitch of voices, or load further voices through the Settings app. We explain exercises in detail to beginners, using speech and visual demonstrations. Advanced users may reduce the announcements to a minimum. You may play music during your session if that sooths you.

We aim at making our PMR app accessible to the visually impaired through voice over. If you are affected and use voice over, please let us know how this works for you and how we can further improve in this direction.

Progressive muscle relaxation (also progressive relaxation (PR) or deep muscle relaxation) developed by Edmund Jacobson is a relaxation technique that involves learning to monitor the tension in specific muscle groups by first tensing each muscle group. This tension is then released, as attention is directed towards the differences felt during tension and relaxation. The individual muscle parts are tensed in a certain order. The concentration of the person is directed to the alternation between tension and relaxation and to the sensations associated with these different states. The aim of the procedure is to lower the muscle tension below the normal level due to improved body awareness. Over time, the person should learn to induce muscular relaxation whenever they want to. Relaxing the muscles can reduce signs of physical restlessness or excitement, such as palpitations, sweating or tremors. In addition, muscle tension can be traced and loosened, thus reducing pain.

PMR is often used in behavioral therapy, such as the treatment of anxiety disorders, where it is used as part of a systematic desensitization treatment. Good results can also be achieved for high blood pressure, headaches, migraines, chronic back pain, sleep disorders, and stress.

The first few sessions are free of cost. Later on, we will ask you for a contribution in the form of a subscription. If you cannot yet decide to subscribe at that point, we will finance further cost-free sessions with advertisements. We recommend a subscription, though, as ads may disturb your concentration. Subscriptions are not renewed automatically, but you may start a new subscription at any time. If you opt for a subscription, we do not collect any data from you, and the purchasing data is only handled by the Apple App Store. If you opt for ads, ad providers may collect certain data from you through Google Ads, as described in Google's privacy policy.

Music will now be dimmed while the voice announces the next steps of the exercises. Dimming should apply both to music started from within the app as well as music streaming before the app was opened. Dimming can also be switched off.

You may now freely adapt the pace and pitch of the voice to your needs. We also fixed a few visual effects that arose with iOS 15.

Adapted to iOS 14

This update fixes two issues:
1. Instead of being silent during the relaxation pause, some American English voices would spell out the length of the pause in milliseconds.
2. The session would sometimes be interrupted while the app was in the background and set to say only short reminders.

We would like to thank M.B., S.B., and J.R. for reporting these rare issues, which appeared only when you changed the relaxation time to some specific values, and only on the latest iOS releases.

1.3

Select and listen to your music during your PMR session. Choose more iterations, or drop an entire muscle group. See how many exercises you have selected, and how long they will take.

We also adapted your PMR app to the new iOS 13 and iPadOS.

We made a special effort to improve voice-over mode. If you are visually impaired and do use voice over, please let us know how this works for you and how we can further improve on it.

Special thanks to M.G., S.H., E.J., M.K., S.M. and J.R., whose suggestions we have implemented in this update!

1.2

2018-09-14

With this update you get a graphical overview of the exercise and their sequence. Tap on an exercise to look at our model showing it, so that you learn which muscles to tense and relax,

We also added a button to reset all setting, improved the stability of the app, and adapted it to iOS 12.

1.1

2018-08-17

This release gives you more flexibility in adapating your PMR sessions to your own rhytm:
- select the duration of the tension and relaxation phases,
- select the number of iterations for each body-part group,
- select how much detail you want to explain the exercises.
This allows you to choose individually between short and longer sessions.

We also introduced an additional slider to control the volume and an estimate for the total session duration, smoothened the phase progress bar and improved the stability of the app.
