Biofeedback is a form of alternative medicine that involves measuring a subject's quantifiable bodily functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, skin temperature, sweat gland activity, and muscle tension, conveying the information to the patient in real-time. This raises the patient's awareness and conscious control of their unconscious physiological activities.
By providing the user access to physiological
information about which he or she is generally unaware, biofeedback
allows users to gain control of physical processes previously
considered an automatic response of the autonomous nervous system.
Interest in biofeedback therapy has waxed and waned since its inception in the
1960s; it is, however, undergoing something of a renaissance during the
early 21st century, which some experts attribute to the general rise in
interest about all alternative medicine modalities. Check out our great biofeedback machines and biofeedback devices today.
