Relaxation has a magical effect on most of the people who feel pain. It reduces tension in the muscles of our bodies, reduces our stress, and the feeling of being exhausted, increases our energy and what is important than all of this is that relaxation allows us to sleep. Relaxation plays an important role in making different medicines that are taken more effectively. This means that relaxation is beneficial to anyone and is highly required whenever you feel pain.

In order to relax, you have to look for a quiet place, to be completely comfortable, think of a calm and relaxing scene while closing your eyes, breathe in deeply and out slowly, listen to calm and slow music and feel that the different parts of your body are relaxing.

It depends on creating situations and pictures and imagining different pleasant things in our minds by using our imagination. It is like hypnotizing yourself and experiencing daydreams that engage all of our senses including sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste-making you forget about the pain and even what happens around you. All that you need is to close your eyes, breathe slowly and leave your imagination.

It is among the best methods that we usually use without being aware of that. This method helps us to relieve pain temporarily especially when it is sudden and does not last for a long time.

You can watch TV, listen to the radio, listen to music, read, work with your hands or do other things that can occupy your attention.

♦ Pressure

It is applied over the area of pain or around it through using the whole hand, the ball of the thumb, the fingertip, or the heel of the hand.
