Biofeedback Stress Reduction Edmonton
Reduce Stress. Restore Balance. Respond to Life Differently.
Stress can affect how you feel physically, emotionally and mentally. When your body is continually reacting to stress, it can become difficult to relax, think clearly, sleep well, maintain energy, or simply feel like yourself.
EPR (Electro-Physiological Reactivity) Biofeedback Stress Reduction is a form of biofeedback offered at Life Synergy Inc. in Edmonton. It is designed to identify areas of stress and reactivity within the body and support greater balance, relaxation and awareness of how you respond to stress.
Rather than continually reacting to life’s stresses in the same way, Biofeedback Stress Reduction may help you develop a calmer, more balanced response.
What Is EPR Biofeedback Stress Reduction?
Biofeedback uses information from the body to increase awareness of how you respond to stress.
EPR Biofeedback uses specialized computer software to measure your body’s reactions to a wide range of frequencies. This feedback helps identify areas of stress and reactivity—physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically.
Personalized frequencies and programs are then used during the session to support relaxation, balance and stress reduction.
The goal is not simply to help you relax during your appointment, but to support your body’s ability to respond to everyday stress in a healthier and more balanced way.
How Biofeedback May Help
Everyone experiences stress differently. For some people it shows up as physical tension or fatigue. For others it may appear as emotional overwhelm, difficulty concentrating, trouble relaxing, or feeling continually “on.”
Biofeedback Stress Reduction may be helpful if you are experiencing:
- Ongoing stress or feeling overwhelmed
- Anxiety or difficulty relaxing
- Emotional reactivity
- Anger, frustration or irritability
- Difficulty concentrating or staying focused
- Fatigue or feeling depleted by stress
- Difficulty settling the mind
- Physical tension associated with stress
- A desire to better understand how your body responds to stress
Because every person responds to stress differently, your Biofeedback session is individualized around what your body’s feedback identifies and what you would like support with.
Understanding Your Stress Response
Stress is a normal part of life. When we experience a stressful situation, the body’s natural fight-or-flight response prepares us to respond by releasing stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol.
This response can be helpful in the short term. However, when stress becomes frequent or ongoing, it can affect many aspects of our physical and emotional well-being.
Chronic stress may influence sleep, digestion, concentration, mood, energy levels, muscle tension and overall quality of life.
Learning to recognize and better regulate your response to stress can be an important part of supporting your overall health and well-being.
What Happens During a Biofeedback Session?
Biofeedback sessions are comfortable, non-invasive and relaxing.
During your appointment, you’ll relax in a reclining lazy boy chair while comfortable bands are placed around your wrists, ankles and head.
The EPR Biofeedback system then measures your body’s responses to a range of frequencies (13,500 frequencies) . This feedback provides information about areas of stress and reactivity.
Based on the information identified during your session, personalized Biofeedback programs and frequencies are used to support stress reduction, relaxation and greater balance.
Your session can focus on emotional, physical, mental, spiritual or energetic areas of stress depending on your individual needs and goals.
