Biofeedback

Biofeedback is an evidence-based technique that enables individuals to gain voluntary control over certain physiological functions, such as heart rate, muscle tension, respiration, and skin temperature,by providing real-time feedback from electronic monitoring devices. At Enlightened Mental Health, we utilize heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, which measures the natural variations between heartbeats. 

• Noninvasive sensors are placed on the body to monitor physiological processes such as heart rate, muscle activity, or brainwaves.
• Data from these sensors is displayed visually on a monitor or conveyed through auditory signals, allowing individuals to observe their body’s responses in real time.
• With guided practice, individuals learn to regulate these processes, such as slowing their breathing, reducing muscle tension, or promoting relaxation.

•  Stress and anxiety management
• Migraine and tension headache treatment
• Chronic pain management
• High blood pressure
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Biofeedback empowers individuals to actively participate in their health and well-being by developing greater awareness and control over physiological responses.
