The Science of Biofeedback
At it’s most basic, Biofeedback is a collection of tools and techniques that draw on the connection between our minds and our bodies to improve both mental and physical wellbeing.
Biofeedback is just about recognizing the ways our thoughts influence our bodies and learning how to use that relationship. As such, Biofeedback is most effective when it’s utilized as a supplemental practice to support stable medical conditions. It’s especially useful for motivated individuals who are seeking non-invasive, non-pharmacological ways to improve their health with reduced side effects.
Most biofeedback techniques are insufficient to address severe mental illness, intellectual disabilities, cognitive impairment, active substance abuse, or emergency medical aid.
Anyone who is familiar with the placebo effect knows how big of an impact mere thought can have on tangible health. Anyone who has had a panic attack knows the physiological effects that can bloom from thinking alone. Biofeedback is about taking that a step further. We don’t just want the brain to trick the body. Biofeedback is about learning to take control of that relationship. With conscious control, proper tools, and data-driven analytics we can harness the power of the mind-body connection to reshape treatment and improve outcomes.
Is Biofeedback right for you?
Biofeedback isn’t a cure – It’s not a pill or surgery – It’s a practice. Whether it’s right for you depends on what you want to accomplish and how you use the tools. Have a conversation with your healthcare provider, or, if you are a healthcare provider stay up to date with the current best practices by checking out Evidence Based Practices, the scientific publication that dives deep into the established science.

Reduce Pharmaceutical Reliance
Between side effects and drug interactions, pharmaceuticals can often be extremely unpleasant. Biofeedback training can help in two crucial ways. First, by giving you increased physiological control to reduce the severity of those side effects and by reducing the severity of some conditions by actively leveraging your mind and intention.
Obtain Objective Evidence
No true science works without gathering objective data. Biofeedback is no different. As technology advances it also seems to grow smaller, more powerful, and perhaps most importantly: more accessible. If you’re a clinician you should check out our
