Hi Hugs4u,
 
Thanks for the welcome!
 
I'm sure you could find a video tutorial online for the relaxation techniques. Have you tried searching on Google? Let us know how this goes!

Hi Sonia,
Its great to hear from a new facilitator to add to the team!
 
Is it possible to show a video, or a safe site, or a stick drawing for those of us who wish to visualize the movements in your pmr?
 
Hope to hear from you again, and often

Your Back: Gently arch your back to tense the muscles of your lower back. If you have lower back problems skip this part. Hold for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20.

Your Chest and Stomach
Take a deep breath and tense all of the muscles of your chest and stomach. Hold for a count of 10 then breath out and relax to a count of 20. Repeat.

Your Shoulders
Try to touch your ears with your shoulders to tense the muscles of your shoulders. Squeeze the muscles for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20. Repeat.

Stretch your upper arms backwards, as if you were trying to touch your shoulder blades together. Hold for a count of 10 then relax for a count of 20. Repeat.
