What is Biofeedback?
BIOFEEDBACK is a clinical process for changing one or more physiological functions including, but not limited to relaxation, increasing muscle flexibility, increasing blood flow, decreasing blood pressure, lowering heart rate, increasing blood oxygenation, lowering stress levels and pain reduction using approved biofeedback devices.
The term ‘biofeedback’ comes from the Greek prefix, ‘bio’ meaning ‘life’, and ‘feedback’ meaning ‘comment’ or ‘response’. Essentially, biofeedback enables you to receive information from your body on current behavior, and influence or modify future behavior. With biofeedback, you can learn to control bodily functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, headache, pain, and muscle tension. The advantages are obvious: non-invasive, non-drug therapy, and preventative value.
Today’s biofeedback can be either extremely advanced or something you might use every day. If you think you have a fever and take your temperature using a thermometer; that is biofeedback. When you step on a scale and it tells you how much weight you have gained or lost, you are experiencing biofeedback. The thermometer and scale communicate with your body and provide you with a response. Armed with this information, what you do next is how biofeedback influences future behavior.
Other famous biofeedback devices: ECG, EKG, blood pressure monitor, MRI, mood ring, Body Mass Index Indicator, CT Scan, Lie Detector, Breathalyser, & Blood Sugar Monitor.
Biofeedback goes QUANTUM
QUANTUM (from the Latin ‘quantus’ meaning ‘how much’) in physics refers to an indivisible entity of energy. In layman’s terms, quantum is the smallest piece of energy, smaller than a molecule, an atom and even an electron.
Quantum biofeedback is communication with your body, but now at a quantum energetic level. It is like standing on the scale and taking your temperature and a thousand other things at the same time. Technology has made it possible to gather this unbiased information at a much faster rate and broader scale than ever before. Even better, quantum biofeedback makes it possible to send energetic messages back to the body. With numerous therapies to choose from, a certified practitioner is able to assist you in feeling better and more energetic.
