*Note

Relaxation is a skill and you should only use these techniques if you have been taught how to do so by The Derby Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) Service.

Allow yourself sufficient time after completing the relaxation exercise before getting up, so that you don't feel light headed or dizzy, and do not drive for at least 10 minutes after using the technique to ensure that you are fully alert.

If you experience any increased pain or discomfort then it may be appropriate for you to stop using that technique.
