How does Biofeedback differ from other therapies?

Biofeedback has proven that the mind and body are interconnected and that with training, you can integrate physical and emotional control in your daily life. Whereas, some therapies take months or even years to work, Biofeedback's benefits are immediate. In essence, you are your own therapist, directing your own progress. The role of the Biofeedback professional is to provide the tools and guidance to make your journey to optimal health easy.

How soon will I feel better?

That depends on you. Unlike a drug whose effects are independent of your control, you influence Biofeedback's outcome. The secrets to success are motivation and practice.

How many training sessions will be required?

Typically, biofeedback treatment involves a regular series of sessions over a period of several weeks. Some courses of treatment may involve as few as 6 or 15 sessions; other disorders may require 40 or 50. The good news is that biofeedback teaches individuals self regulation. Once the techniques are learned, the patient may never again require biofeedback therapy or only a "refresher" session now and then.
