from a group of therapeutic techniques which aim to relax the muscles and mind.
We believe that psychotherapeutic relaxation is distinct from techniques of
rest treatment, massage. & gymnastics (which are often exploited for

mobilizing the imaginary, and working on the somato-psychic experience and
psychic productions - induced by muscular and psychic release .
