what exactly IS biofeedback

[powerofprayer]

I did a forum search for biofeedback and now am thoroughly confused. I have a friend whose father is a CN, herbalist, reflexologist, etc...

I made an appt to see him and his secretary told me that the "machine he hooks you up to" (This is how it was described by another friend of mine who saw him) is called BIOFEEDBACK. she said it performs around 9000 tests in about 90 min.

But from what i've been reading here, i'm under the impression that biofeedback is more of a "brain training" exercise??? Am i confused or what?

I was excited b/c the way his secretary described it, it sounded like he could find all sorts of underlying issues using this technique.

if anyone can explain this therapy to me in layman's terms, i'd appreciate it greatly.

 

thanks,

nadine

there is biofeedback and there is neurofeedback

 

biofeedback is used on many parts of the body and is VERY different from neurofeedback, which I personally am not a fan of

 

Biofeedback uses resonance frequency etc to allow the therapist to take readings of affected parts and then program the machine to use that feedback to reverse the negative to a positive...a very simplistic way I am describing a very intricate procedure
