Biofeedback is an evidence-based and personalised computer-supported therapy that facilitates self-regulation by enabling clients to gain deeper insight into and control over their bodily functions. It empowers individuals by encouraging their active participation in managing their well-being, fostering a sense of control over their health.
During a biofeedback session, sensors are attached to the client’s body, such as the index finger or the head, to measure physiological signals like heart rate, body temperature, skin response, or blood flow. This real-time information is presented to the client through visual and auditory feedback, allowing them to understand their physiological responses and subsequently learn to relax both their body and their mind.
The clinical applications of biofeedback extend across a broad spectrum of health conditions, from bodily health issues such as pain, respiratory issues, and digestion problems to mental health, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and are also utilised for peak performance training.
Biofeedback is a safe, non-invasive tool for clients to actively practice and integrate into their daily lives, fostering a connection between mental and physical well-being.
