Biofeedback Training

Biofeedback Training Sessions

Biofeedback is a safe and non-invasive technique that helps individuals understand how their body responds to stress, emotions and physical tension.

During a session, sensors can measure signals such as heart rate, breathing patterns, muscle tension or skin temperature. These signals can be displayed in real time, helping participants understand their body's responses.

With professional guidance, participants can learn techniques such as deep breathing, relaxation and mindful focus to develop greater awareness of their stress response.
