Relaxation breathing exercises

This exercise can be used to help a child or adolescent who has chronic or recurrent pain. The exercise should be done for 10 minutes at least twice every day and can be used at other times when pain is bothersome.

The parent can read the following instructions to their child, or an older child or adolescent may read the instructions on their own.

Lie down, or sit in a comfortable chair. Remove any items that are uncomfortable, including tight clothing, glasses, or jewelry.
Close your eyes, and try to relax every muscle in your body. Pay special attention to the muscles of your face, mouth, tongue, and jaw.
Place 1 hand on your belly; this hand should move when taking a deep breath.
Follow your breathing as you breathe in deeply and slowly through your nose into your belly. You should feel your belly rise and fall.
Breathe out through your mouth, keeping your mouth, tongue, and jaw relaxed.
Focus on the sound and feeling of long, slow, deep breaths.
Continue breathing in and out slowly for at least 10 minutes.
