Biofeedback allows you to monitor certain involuntary functions (like your heart rate) while performing normal, automatic activities. Over time, you can teach yourself to make subtle physical changes — like relaxing certain muscles, slowing your breathing, or lowering your heart rate — while doing those activities.

Biofeedback is widely used in the medical community to treat things like migraines, panic attacks, and high blood pressure.

This technology is Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback and we find it especially helpful for clients suffering from symptoms related to anxiety and depression, because it balances the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Combining biofeedback with neurofeedback at Asheville Brain Training is a more comprehensive approach that addresses all aspects of these conditions.

(We have several other biofeedback technologies that we use when appropriate.)
