Biofeedback is a treatment that introduces individuals to their bodies
in a unique way. In the simplest form, most people are aware of some
form of biofeedback, stepping on a scale, for instance, provides you
with information about how much you weigh or taking your temperature
using a thermometer to determine if you have a fever.
However,
General Biofeedback Treatment not only provides the patient
with information about their bodies, but then provides immediate
feedback regarding changes occurring in their bodies, that enables them
to train their bodies to control various aspects of themselves. Patients
can learn to control muscle tension (EMG), heart rate (HR), respiration
rate (RR), hand temperature (Thermal) and the perspiration of
their palm (GSR).
Neurofeedback
focuses on measuring and training specific brain waves.
