HEART RATE
TEMPARTURE
BLOOD PRESSURE
HOW DOES BIOFEEDBACK THERAPY WORK?
• DURING A BIOFEEDBACK SESSION, ELECTRODES
ARE ATTACHED TO YOUR SKIN.
• THESE ELECTRODES/SENSORS SEND SIGNALS TO A
MONITOR
• A SOUND, FLASH OF LIGHT, OR IMAGE THAT
REPRESENTS YOUR HEART AND BREATHING RATE,
BLOOD PRESSURE, SKIN TEMPERATURE, SWEATING,
OR MUSCLE ACTIVITY.
• WHEN YOU'RE UNDER STRESS, THESE FUNCTIONS
CHANGE. YOUR HEART RATE SPEEDS UP,
• MUSCLES TIGHTEN, YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE RISES,
YOU START TO SWEAT, AND YOUR BREATHING
QUICKENS.
RELAXATION EXERCISES ARE USED IN
BIOFEEDBACK
• DEEP BREATHING
GUIDED IMAGERY –
CONCENTRATING ON A SPECIFIC IMAGE (SUCH AS THE COLOUR AND TEXTURE OF
AN ORANGE) TO FOCUS YOUR MIND AND MAKE YOU FEEL MORE RELAXED
PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE RELAXATION --
ALTERNATELY TIGHTENING AND THEN RELAXING
DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS
• MINDFULNESS MEDITATION -- FOCUSING YOUR THOUGHTS AND LETTING GO OF
NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
TYPES OF BIOFEEDBACK
• ELECTROMYOGRAM (EMG).
• THERMAL.
• NEUROFEEDBACK OR
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
(EEG).
• ELECTRODERMALACTIVITY
(EDA)
• HEART RATE VARIABILITY
(HRA).
BIOFEEDBACK USES
• CHRONIC PAIN.
• HEADACHES.
• ANXIETY.
• URINARY INCONTINENCE
• HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
• ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER
(ADHD)
• CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE
