BIOFEEDBACK

is a form of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) that teaches you to use your mind to control your body.  It uses a wide range of monitoring procedures and equipment, such as temperature sensors and computer programs to help you learn to control certain involuntary body responses such as muscle tension, heart rate, breathing and body temperature.

Biofeedback has been used successfully to manage or treat conditions such as hypertension and headaches.

BIOFEEDBACK may help your overall health and sense of well-being

A typical biofeedback session lasts 30 to 60 minutes. It involves the placement of electrical sensors on your skin. These sensors monitor a variety of physical states such as muscle tension, skin temperature, and sweat production.  This “bio” information is ‘’fed back”  to  you in the form of visual and/or auditory cues.  By using this information, you will learn to positively influence your body.

BIOFEEDBACK benefits:

·   It can reduce or possibly  eliminate your need for medication.

·   It helps puts you in charge of your own healing by providing measurable feedback, allowing you to monitor your progress and learning.

·   It could lower your medical costs.

But most of all, it feels GREAT!!
