PGE consists of a recording of breathing exercises and progressive muscle stretching exercises, with music in the background that will relax the patient. The first part of the recordings takes approximately 10 minutes. It continues and includes information about the definition of relaxation exercise, its purpose, benefits and points to consider when starting the exercises, correct breathing in the appropriate position and what the environment should be like. The second part consists of how to contract and relax certain muscles in our body, which takes approximately 25-30 minutes, and the steps to exit this process after the relaxation session is over.
