A typical biofeedback session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. The number of sessions needed to resolve an issue will vary depending on several factors, including how committed to regular practice (in order to learn to control your emotions and bodily responses) and the nature of the issue.

This will be discussed during our first meeting as it would depend on each client.

Biofeedback refers to a wide range of modalities that can be used to train people to improve their health by using information from their own bodies. For instance, you use simple biofeedback whenever you take your temperature or weigh yourselves and then use that information to decide how best to care for yourselves. Biofeedback trains people to recognize the physical signs and symptoms of stress and anxiety such as increased heart rate, body temperature, muscle tension etc. The goal of biofeedback training is to become aware of your body’s responses, particularly when you’re stressed and anxious, and to then learn how to control those responses to achieve the desired outcomes. Digital technology allows the measurements of various internal body functions, and information obtained is used to coach and train clients to improve a wide variety of physical and emotional challenges as well as to improve heart and brain coherence. When working with a biofeedback device, the changes in physiological function can be readily observed on a screen, but in time you can learn to maintain the beneficial changes without the use of equipment. Biofeedback is a risk-free way to take control of your own physical and mental wellness. With training, you will be able to detect health issues earlier – or even before they arise, as well as track the effectiveness of treatments of chronic illnesses. With biofeedback, you must take an active role and commit to regular practice in order to develop a skill, much like learning to play a musical instrument. During biofeedback, sensors are connected to different parts of your body. These pads might be used to: Monitor your brain waves Check the temperature of your skin Measure muscle tightness Monitor your heart rate Monitor your breathing rate and patterns

Blood Pressure Biofeedback This type specifically focuses on hypertension, helping people learn how to lower blood pressure with relaxation and breathing techniques. Heart Rate Variability It measures variations in the time between heartbeats. It’s useful for a number of different disorders including anxiety, arrhythmia, asthma and depression. Respiratory biofeedback or Breathing It monitors breathing rates and patterns. With training, people can learn to have greater control over their breathing rates which can help in a variety of situations including when people experience anxiety. Thermal biofeedback or Skin Temperature It utilizes sensors that detect blood flow to the skin. Generally, there is a drop in body temperature during times of stress, biofeedback devices can help people better detect when they are starting to feel distressed therefore can apply some stress management techniques. Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback or Muscle Tension EMG biofeedback measures muscle tension by using sensors to measure muscle tightening. This helps make you aware of muscle tension, so you can take steps to control it. Anxiety and stress cause the muscles to tense up, which can lead to pain and stiffness in almost any area of the body.

Biofeedback is a powerful tool to help manage stress, pain and thereby improve a range of physical and emotional or mental issues. It offers several important benefits in contrast to other forms of therapy. Biofeedback does not rely on medications Biofeedback therapy does not require you to take any medications. This means it can be done in conjunction with other medical or alternative therapeutics without any concern. For people who cannot or don’t want to take medication, it may be an effective option. There are no side effects Biofeedback is widely regarded as safe for everyone and does not have any side effects. This makes it a great choice for people of all ages without any risk. Also, it is non-invasive, only requiring external application of sensors on different parts of the body. This is completely painless and safe. Biofeedback is versatile for many health and wellbeing issues Biofeedback offers several different techniques and methods, meaning it can be applied to your specific goals and needs. For example, biofeedback is a proven method for learning how to cope with feelings of stress and anxiety, managing ADHD, improving athletic performance, reducing chronic pain, and much more.

Biofeedback was first introduced as a concept in 1969. In the fifty years since it has been thoroughly tested in clinical settings, and various studies have shown its effectiveness for treating different problems. For example, biofeedback training is scientifically proven effective in reducing stress and improving migraine. In addition, a review of the literature shows that biofeedback may help with severe PTSD. The clinical research on biofeedback is ongoing and continues to show that for many mind-body concerns, biofeedback is indeed an effective and proven therapy option.

The first session helps us establish if I am a right fit for you. This is the opportunity for you to give me an overview of your story and really what brings you to the clinic. I will also go over some documents with you and some of our policies. The initial session is 60-90 minutes long, which includes a detailed history, familiarization with biofeedback, setting goals and expectations. These are some of the issues that could be discussed: Anxiety / Stress/ Insomnia General health concerns Pain Lifestyle counseling We offer services for adults and children

Some insurance companies cover biofeedback for certain conditions, but others do not. And your plan may limit the number of treatments it covers. Ask your insurance company if it will cover treatments for your specific issue, and how many sessions. You may need a referral from a doctor or other healthcare provider.

Emotional freedom technique (EFT) or Tapping is an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress. It is a powerful holistic healing technique that resolves a range of issues. It's based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Tapping on the meridian endpoints, while addressing the root cause of distress by using specific wording, sends a calming signal to the brain. This allows you to feel relaxed and in control.

Studies have shown that Tapping decreases cortisol (often called the stress hormone) in your body. The World Health Organization has announced that stress is the health epidemic of the 21st century. Tapping is proven to reduce stress, lower cortisol, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, increase productivity. Tapping gives you the opportunity to bring your life back into balance and reduce stress around your relationships, finances, weight, pain, fears, and much more! You can almost tap on everything.
