Abstract
The concept of Archimedean Muscle-Tension Centers (AMTC) is inspired by Archimedes' principle of the lever, applied to the context of emotional regulation through specific muscle groups. The three main AMTCs identified are the diaphragm, the iliopsoas muscle and the trapezius. These areas are crucial for managing stress and emotions, as they accumulate chronic tension related to emotional and postural factors. Intervening in these centers through techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), biofeedback and diaphragmatic breathing can promote deep relaxation and improve psychophysical well-being.
