HOW DOES IT WORK?

Biofeedback helps people regulate their stress response first by realizing when they are becoming stressed or anxious and then by employing various techniques like relaxation, breathing exercises and meditation to calm down their physiologic response.

Benefits from biofeedback arise from the increased relaxation in your body and the lack of a chronically triggered fight-or-flight response. Because chronic stress can be a trigger for many if not most illnesses, this can offer a significant and palpable improvement in the way people feel and how their bodies function.

Biofeedback helps calm clients by learning not only how your body is currently functioning and helps identify what needs to be changed. Also, by showing you in ‘real time' which relaxation techniques are working and which aren't, you're able to more easily grasp effective ways to relax your body's physiology and incorporate healthier habits into your lifestyle.

What Does It Treat?
Because biofeedback can  be intitated with any and all stress related conditions by helping to reverse the stress response (and helps you keep from it being  triggered in the first place!), it can be useful with a variety of conditions.

Some popular uses for biofeedback are: High BP, Anxiety, Insomnia, Pain, Stress, Muscle tension, back problems, tension headaches and migraines, and IBS, Trigeminal neuralgia and many more.

Getting Started

You may be using a simple form on your own:

• Physical Awareness: Some physical responses can be easily measured without equipment, of course. When your body becomes tense, that's a natural message that you're stressed. Shallow breathing can be another. Becoming aware of your body's stress signals can arguably be a sort of natural form of ‘biofeedback'.

• Household Tools:  A scale, thermometer, BP monitor and even mirrors can tell you about some of your body's stress signals .Both of these methods tell you about your physiology and help you to know that healthy changes are required, but are only the tip of the iceberg. Traditional biofeedback usually involves much more sophisticated measurements that can change more rapidly and are more difficult for the lay person to detect on their own.
• Usually, standard biofeedback necessitates the use of a biofeedback technician—a therapist or health professional who will not only help you to understand your stress levels but also develop and perfect a relaxation response.

After much continuing education training we will offer 6 biofeedback sessions for only $450.00.  Ask us for more information or tell me at your next appointment and I will do a demo for you.  If you are not local you may be able to ask your doctor for a referral to a practioner.
