Philosophy and Comments        

It is likely that you already possess many of the skills you need to manage stress or chronic pain and be happier, more calm, and more comfortable.

One goal of biofeedback-assisted relaxation and stress management training is to help you discover those strengths and apply them in situations you haven't previously.

Sometimes, to perform at your peak, you may need some help learning to breathe in a relaxed, comfortable manner or teaching your brain how to operate more efficiently.

Biofeedback can help you learn to increase your awareness of the relationship between mind and body. Learn to substitute the "comfort cycle" for stress-related vicious cycles. You don't need to be tense to concentrate--in fact, anxiety and tension make it harder to learn, to recall events, faces and facts, or to be creative in sports, work, and the arts.
