Biofeedback

Biofeedback works because we have the innate ability and potential to influence the automatic functions of our bodies through the exertion of our will and mind.

The word 'biofeedback' was coined in the late 1969 to describe laboratory procedures (developed in the 1940's) that trained research subjects to alter brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, heart rate and other bodily functions that are not normally controlled voluntarily.  The practitioner attaches sensors to the body and these sensors provide a variety of readings – feedback - which is displayed on the equipment for the practitioner to interpret. Biofeedback is a treatment technique that trains people to improve their health by using signals from their own bodies.

Biofeedback is a safe, non-invasive, painless, and effective use of instruments, now usually computerized, to provide continuous information about subtle changes in aspects of your body's functioning related to your symptoms.  Its purpose is to teach you to regulate the physical responses underlying symptoms.  It thus falls into the categories of behavioral medicine and mind-body education.  In other words, it can be seen as both a medical intervention and an educational experience.

Chances are you have already used biofeedback yourself.  You've used it if you have ever taken your temperature or stepped on a scale.  The thermometer tells you whether you're running a fever, the scale whether you've gained weight.  Both devices "feed back" information about your body's condition.  Armed with this information, you can take steps you've learned to improve the condition.

A biofeedback device acts as a kind of sixth sense which allows us to "see" or "hear" activity inside your body. Once we can see or hear the problems, it helps to identify the underlying stressors which are at the root of the causes.  We can identify and recognize imbalances when these are displayed on a computer screen.

Traditional Biofeedback

You may remember when in the 1980s Traditional Biofeedback was introduced as a medicine model with much success.  By helping a person to control their own heart rate and brain wave activity, great success was achieved especially in the neurological arena.  Traditional biofeedback includes GSR (Galvanic Skin Resistance), EEG and EKG.  This original model of biofeedback is the foundation for today’s much more highly advanced biofeedback.

One commonly used device, for example, picks up electrical signals from the muscles and translates the signals into a form that people can detect. This device triggers a flashing light or activates a beeper every time muscles become more tense. If one wants to relax tense muscles, one must try to slow down the flashing or beeping. People learn to associate sensations from the muscle with actual levels of tension and develop a new, healthy habit of keeping muscles only as tense as is necessary for as long as necessary. After treatment, individuals are then able to repeat this response at will without being attached to the sensors.

Other biological functions which are commonly measured and used in similar way to help people learn to control their physical functioning are skin temperature, heart rate, sweat gland activity, and brainwave activity.

Clinicians rely on complicated biofeedback machines in somewhat the same way that you rely on your scale or thermometer. Their machines can detect a person's internal bodily functions with far greater sensitivity and precision than a person can alone. This information may be valuable. Both patients and therapists use it to gauge and direct the progress of treatment.

Although most people initially viewed these practices with skepticism, researchers proved that many individuals could alter their involuntary responses by being 'fed back' information either visually or audibly about what was occurring in their bodies.

In addition, studies have shown that we have more control over so-called involuntary bodily functions than we once thought possible. As a result, biofeedback can train individuals with techniques for living a healthier life overall - whether one is afflicted with a medical condition or not.

Quantum Biofeedback

Fast forward 30 years, add sophisticated computerized technology capable of making millions of calculations every second and we have ushered in a new era of biofeedback - Quantum Biofeedback.  It’s called Quantum because these devices have processes that operate using Quantum Physics or Quantum Mechanics.
