Course content
|
The course begins with an introduction to the subject, where students learn the classification of relaxation methods and the main types of relaxation procedures. It continues with an overview of basic relaxation techniques and explains how they can be used in different clinical cases, depending on the patient?s symptoms and therapeutic goals. A significant part of the course is dedicated to the theoretical explanation and practical training of Autogenic Training, including its structure and correct guidance. Students also receive theoretical instruction and practical training in Progressive Muscle Relaxation, with an emphasis on its use for reducing muscle tension and supporting stress regulation. Furthermore, the course provides theoretical grounding for other relaxation and meditation-based approaches and gives students the opportunity to practise these techniques in a safe learning environment. In the final part of the course, students demonstrate selected relaxation techniques, practise leading them for others, and receive feedback to improve their professional skills.

Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with basic relaxation techniques and their application in clinical practice. The course helps students understand how relaxation can be used as a supportive method in physiotherapy and psychotherapy-related care, especially in patients experiencing stress, increased muscle tension, pain, anxiety, or psychosomatic symptoms. The course introduces students to basic relaxation techniques, the conditions for their safe use, and their practical application in different types of clinical cases. After completing the course, the student will have an overview of common relaxation techniques and will be able to apply this knowledge in practice, including adapting the method to the patient?s needs and clinical situation.

Students are expected to attend seminars and practical classes regularly and participate actively in all training sessions. During the course, each student is required to practise the relaxation techniques and demonstrate the ability to guide a short relaxation session with clear and professional instructions. In order to complete the course successfully, students must also submit a final project in which they propose how relaxation methods could be included in the management of a selected diagnosis or patient group in physiotherapy practice.
