What is Biofeedback?

Biofeedback and Behavioral Therapy for Adults and Children.

WHAT IS BIOFEEDBACK?

Many people suffer from common physical disorders that elude successful treatment.  Over the last several years, I have seen dramatic improvement in the people who suffer from headache, backache, and chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, PMS, bruxism and gastrointestinal disorders.  It works.  I teach people to identify and control body function, develop healthy responses, and relieve their symptoms and pain.  Treatment is affordable.  Please accept my invitation to call my office and discuss Biofeedback therapy and Biomonitoring.
Biomonitoring treats the systems, not the symptom, bringing each of the bodily systems into balance within itself and with all other systems (homeostasis) thereby relieving the symptom.
 
What is the role of the therapist?
The therapist serves as a coach who guides, suggests and encourages the patient in relaxation techniques, self-regulation and self-awareness and home practice.  For instance, when an infection occurs, the body need not be told how many white cells to produce or where to send them. It sends the perfect number to the appropriate place at the proper time.
 
If my body has this ability, why hasn't it helped already?
For the most part it does help but without proper training, we unknowingly do things, which interfere without own natural healing processes: such as holding our breath when we hurt.  A beneficial effect may be the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain reducers, which may produce a feeling of equilibrium. When the mind/body reaches its optimum level of performance, there is a sense of well-being and completeness.  Relaxation is only the first step towards learning self-regulation.  Knowledge of these occurrences and what to do about them is also a crucial part of training.
 
Why is learning stress management so important?
Most of the diseases that we now suffer are diseases of degeneration, which are stress related to or made worse by stress.  Our self-regulation training can provide each of us with the tools we need to avoid becoming part of this alarming national health trend.
