How it's used
Focuses on a state of mental or physical relief, often after a period of tension or discomfort. It implies a sense of openness and lack of restriction, whether it is the feeling of fresh air or the resolution of a stressful situation. It is more formal than common colloquial descriptors like 舒服, which is used for general comfort.
Examples
After exercising, I feel completely relaxed and at ease.
Are you feeling very happy and carefree today?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 舒服. While 舒服 is a general term for physical comfort or convenience, 舒暢 specifically carries a sense of mental clarity, emotional release, or a feeling of being unburdened.
