As técnicas de relaxamento para promoção a saúde e bem-estar da pessoa idosa: relato de experiência. 2020. 41 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Fisioterapia) - Departamento de Fisioterapia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2020.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/35935Introduction: Relaxation techniques such as Gerdar Alexander's Eutony, Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation and Caycedian Sofrology bring to the rescue the elements of the population's daily life for relevant therapeutic purposes, in the perspective of meeting mental, social, emotional needs, physical and cognitive, especially for the health of the elderly. Objective: The work aims to report three experiences lived during meetings focused on relaxation practices through eutonia, sofrology and Jacobson's progressive, developed for elderly people. Methods: This is a descriptive study of the experience report type, developed at the Estevam Pascoal Social Center in 2018 and at the Basic Family Health Unit of Vila de Ponta Negra in 2019. Results: It was possible to perceive the contentment generated by the elderly people to participate in the activities developed during the experience. It is believed that the careful care in all stages regarding the preparations for each practice helped in the positive impact of the project, promoting the spontaneous participation of the elderly women and the verbalization of satisfaction during and after their participation. Conclusion: The practices, experiences and workshops found at each meeting of the research and extension project “PICS in the Vila: humanized attention for the promotion of health and well-being of adults and the elderly” reveal that the contributions have been expressive and reiterate the importance of integrative practices in the healthy aging process of these elderly women. From this perspective, directing relaxation techniques to the elderly people of Vila de Ponta Negra envisions rescuing and bringing scientific and historical knowledge of such practices to the participating population, contributing to the prevention of energy-functional imbalances and / or reducing limitations existing in the elderly, enabling a state of integral well-being through the whole context of socialization and learning shared by each other. Thus, it is hoped that by sharing these experiences, it will be possible to empower and encourage other professionals, managers, teachers and students to disseminate similar activities and carry out more groups for the integral health of the elderly population of the country and the world.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/IdososTerapias ComplementaresTerapia de RelaxamentoElderlyComplementary TherapiesRelaxation TherapyAs técnicas de relaxamento para promoção a saúde e bem-estar da pessoa idosa: relato de experiênciaRelaxation techniques to promote the health and welfare of elderly people: experience reportbachelorThesis4.00.00.00-1 Ciências da Saúde4.06.00.00-9 Saúde Coletiva4.08.00.00-8 Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional
