Biofeedback, also known as biological feedback, is a therapeutic technique that involves monitoring and analysing the body's physiological signals - such as muscle tension, heart rhythm, brain waves or skin temperature. The aim of biofeedback therapy is to teach the patient to consciously control physiological processes that normally occur automatically.
With specialised equipment, it is possible to precisely track the body's reactions in real time. The patient sees information about their condition on a computer screen and learns how to consciously influence their own body. Biofeedback therapy is used for, among other things, stress reduction, treatment of migraines, sleep disorders, ADHD and concentration problems.
