“…Abbreviated progressive relaxation techniques also focus on breathing as a way of both regulating respiration and focusing attention. This method of arousal reduction is common in AMT, but other ways of controlling arousal are quite acceptable such as simple relaxation through breathing exercises or other relaxation methods such as behavioral relaxation (Sturmey, Lindsay, Yause, & Neil, 2014 ). The important aspect is that the person is able to reduce his or her own arousal.…”

“…Therefore, for individuals with MBID and verbal or cognitive abilities that might constrain effective CBT, add-on approaches to target arousal reduction in a less verbal manner could be considered. For example, body-oriented techniques used in Psychomotor therapy (PMT), including behavioural relaxation techniques (e.g., Progressive Relaxation or "Soles of the Feet", a meditation procedure) to reduce arousal and support anger regulation might be feasible (Kay, Clegg, Emck, & Standen, 2016;McDonnell et al, 2015;Sturmey, Lindsay, Vause, & Neil, 2014).…”

Background: Poor anger regulation is considered a risk factor of aggression in individuals with mild or borderline intellectual disabilities. Psychomotor therapy (PMT) targets anger regulation through body-and movement-oriented interventions. This study aims to inform practitioners on efficacy and research-base of PMT in this population. Method: This systematic review evaluated nine studies which met inclusion criteria in terms of participants, intervention procedures, outcomes and certainty of evidence. Results: Seven studies revealed a substantial reduction of aggressive behaviour or anger. Certainty of evidence was rated inconclusive in most cases due to absence of experimental control. Conclusions: We can conclude that body-oriented PMT, involving progressive relaxation and meditation procedure "Soles of the Feet", is a promising approach. However, the paucity of studies and methodological limitations preclude classifying it as an evidence-based practice. This suggests stronger methodological research and research aimed at PMT's mechanisms of action (e.g., improved interoceptive awareness) is warranted.
