Bio Feedback Therapy

Posted by SheSue on November 22, 2008 under Healthy livin, Schoolin, What's It Like?

During a massage session, it was suggested I try Bio Feedback therapy. This is a technique in which people are trained to improve their health by learning to control certain internal bodily processes that normally

occur involuntarily, such as heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension, and skin temperature. It was explained to me that bio feedback is used to treat high blood pressure, headache and chronic pain all of which I suffer. When a body is repeatedly stressed, internal processes like blood pressure become overactive. Most people who benefit from biofeedback have conditions that are brought on or made worse by stress. For this reason, many scientists believe that relaxation is key to successful biofeedback therapy. I decided to give it a try.

When I called to make the appointment, I was asked to not tell her any of my symptoms. Okay. Not knowing what to expect, I was a little nervous. When I arrived, I was asked to sit on a couch and relax. Sure. The therapist attached straps around my wrists, ankles and my head. These straps were all plugged into her computer. She explained that her program would begin reading the electrical energy in my body. This took several minutes.

At this point, she explained that she was getting my readings. She began to ask questions. Did I have joint issues, was I tired often, did I have intestinal issues, did I often feel sad. All the readings I answered yes to. She said she could ‘treat’ some of my symptoms through electrical impulses. She said I would feel a light electrical zap for each such treatment. It felt like a massage wand touching my wrist. That was the only place I felt anything. After the treatment was over, she explained that she could make some suggestions, but because she was not a physician, she could not tell me what to take. She suggested some supplements.

Synopsis: I really didn’t feel any different when I was done. But it did make a good diagnostic tool. For more information, check out Naturally Healthy You With Bio Feedback Therapy
