Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a therapy that allows you to control and regulate your body’s physiological functions more effectively, thereby reducing excess nervous excitability in your body. Whether you want to take charge of your emotions, control pain signals in your body or as an athlete reach higher levels, taking charge of your physiology through biofeedback allows you to optimize your body’s nervous system and puts you fully in charge of your life.
During a session, our experts attach non-invasive electrical sensors to your skin (finger sensors could also be used) through which you receive instant feedback on your body’s functions. The feedback can be in the form of an image, a flash of light, as well as sounds that represent your physiological functions such as heart and breathing rate, skin temperature, and muscle activity. Under normal circumstances, these functions occur subconsciously.
When under stress or in pain, a component of your nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system is activated unconsciously. This leads to increases in your heart rate, tightening of your muscles, a rise in blood pressure, sweating, and rapid breathing. Biofeedback enables you to bring the activity of the sympathetic nervous system under conscious control and, as a result, take charge of your physiology.
