Biofeedback Training:

Biofeedback therapy, invented in the late 1960s, is a non-invasive, non-drug treatment that “trains” the individual to control involuntary physiological processes, including heartrate, blood pressure, and muscle tension. Electrical sensors, connected to the body, measure physiological processes. Individuals see their readings in the form of auditory or visual feedback, indicating when physiological changes are taking place that might go unnoticed. Feedback can come in a blinking LED or buzzing sound. The individual learns to recognize when changes occur and then how to consciously relax to bring balance to their body. Around since the late 1960s, biofeedback empowers people to be in control of their body’s emotional responses, with a low risk of side effects. It’s particularly effective for conditions caused by stress, especially if they can be solved by relaxing, including high blood pressure, chronic pain, performance enhancement, anxiety, delayed and/or disturbed sleep, headaches, or GI track illness.
