Biofeedback has been scientifically proven to reduce stress and hypertension that may be related to illness, injury or emotional trauma.

What Is Biofeedback?

Biofeedback is a non invasive method of testing the client's stressors which may inhibit the body's ability to maintain harmony in it's energy distribution.  The body's energetic harmony plays a substantial role in our well being.  Stress can limit one's ability to cope with every day situations, with infections and diseases, it can inhibit the body's ability to heal itself.  Simply put, Biofeedback assists health practitioners to find energetic imbalances occuring in humans and animals and seeks to regain that energetic balance.
 
How does it work?

 The Electro Phyiological Feedback Xrroid (EPFX) conducts some 8,700 tests in approximately 4 minutes to gauge the body's overall energy efficiency.  This is done by comparative frequency measurements, the Biofeedback Specialist is then able to direct specific flows of energy to help restore balance to the system.
Think of the mind and body as an electrical machine. When new and clean the electricity flows, as we age the wires frey, dirt accumulates and the current is slowed or stopped. Biofeedback assists the body in cleaning up the connections and the body to mend the wiring.
