What Is a Biofeedback System?
Individuals and some healthcare professionals typically use a biofeedback system to monitor and consciously regulate many of the body’s automatic functions. The functions that may be regulated through biofeedback include heart rate, blood pressure, sweat gland activity, body temperature, and muscle tension. By consciously controlling the body’s automatic processes, individuals may be able to reduce the physical effects of stress or relieve some symptoms of certain disorders.
