Biofeedback: A Practitioner's Guide

Biofeedback is a technique that helps individuals gain awareness and control over their body's functions—such as heart rate, muscle tension, or blood pressure—by using real-time electronic monitoring. A practitioner guides you through exercises, and devices display your physiological responses, enabling you to learn how to modify them consciously. This process can reduce stress, manage chronic pain, or improve conditions like migraines and anxiety. Essentially, biofeedback trains your body to operate more efficiently by providing feedback on internal states, fostering self-regulation and promoting health.
