What is bio feedback?

Biofeedback is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that involves monitoring and displaying various physiological processes of the body, such as heart rate, body temperature, breathing rate, muscle tension, and brain activity, in real-time. The objective of biofeedback is to consciously control these physiological processes to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and improve overall health and wellness.

Biofeedback sessions are typically performed using specialized electronic instruments, which provide visual or auditory feedback to the patient. The patient can observe the signals and use different techniques to manage their physiological responses, such as relaxation techniques, mental imagery, and breathing exercises.

Biofeedback can help individuals with various conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, hypertension, migraines, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is also used in sports training to enhance athletic performance and in occupational therapy to address work-related stress.

Biofeedback is considered safe and non-invasive, and it can be used alongside other treatments, such as medication and therapy, to improve overall health and wellness.
