PMR is a relaxation technique that involves tensing and relaxing specific muscles in turn.
By focusing on tensing and relaxing muscles individually, a person becomes focused on the present moment.
The goal of PMR is to bring about a relaxation response. The relaxation response causes the body to transition from an alert, active state into a more restful one. It causes physiological changes, such as:

slower breathing
slower heart rate
lower blood pressure
lower cortisol levels

It  induces the relaxation response to relieve stress or anxiety, helps in getting  sleep, or ease tense muscles.
