Now offering BIOFEEDBACK Therapy at Hampstead Topsail Physical Therapy!
Biofeedback is a mind-body technique that enables you to learn how to change your physiological muscle activation to improve strength and performance of a specific muscle group. Electrical sensors help you measure and receive information (feedback) about your body (bio).
Physical therapists use Biofeedback to help refine a movement sequence or activation pattern to help patients achieve a goal. This technique involves using visual, physical, and/or auditory feedback to guide the patient to give their optimal performance.
How Can Biofeedback Help?
Biofeedback can help you make subtle changes in your body, like relaxing certain muscles to reduce pain, managing your breathing, or better controlling your heart rate. In essence, Biofeedback helps give you the tools to control your muscular activation so that your body is working at 100%.
The ultimate purpose is to receive visual real time feedback on muscle performance so that you can improve upon it during your sessions.
Biofeedback is not painful. You actually won't feel anything at all! Whereas electrical stimulation SENDS a signal to your muscle to make it fire, Biofeedback RECEIVES and MEASURES the muscles signal to tell you how much it is firing. It is one of the most beneficial ways to improve muscle activation after injury, surgery, or long term atrophy due to chronic pain.
