Biofeedback, offered at GastroExperts, is a therapeutic technique that trains you to become more aware of and control certain physiological functions. Using specialized equipment and sensors, biofeedback provides real-time feedback on your body’s responses, allowing you to learn how to modulate them for therapeutic benefit.
Biofeedback uses sensors to measure various physiological activities, such as muscle tension, heart rate, skin temperature, or brainwave activity.
With the help of a trained therapist, you'll learn to associate the biofeedback signals with your body's responses. You'll practice controlling these responses through relaxation techniques and guided exercises to achieve the desired outcome.
These physiological signals are converted into visual or auditory signals (like sounds or images) displayed on a monitor or screen.
Biofeedback can help manage conditions like constipation, fecal incontinence, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by retraining muscles involved in digestion and relaxation.
Biofeedback techniques can be used to manage chronic pain by helping you learn to relax muscles and reduce pain perception.
Biofeedback can help strengthen and coordinate pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control and bowel function.
Biofeedback can be a valuable tool for managing anxiety and stress by providing feedback on physiological responses associated with these conditions and teaching relaxation techniques.
Biofeedback offers a safe and natural approach to managing various health conditions without relying on medications.
Biofeedback equips you with the skills to manage your health and well-being through learned control of physiological responses.

Biofeedback can be beneficial for a variety of conditions. If you're struggling with digestive issues, pain management, anxiety, or bowel control problems, your doctor might recommend biofeedback as part of your treatment plan.
A typical biofeedback session lasts 30-60 minutes. The therapist will explain the process, attach the sensors, and guide you through relaxation techniques while providing biofeedback on your responses.
The number of biofeedback sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated and your progress. It typically involves several sessions spread over weeks or months.
Biofeedback is generally safe and well-tolerated. No major risks are involved, but sensor placement might cause temporary discomfort.
