Everything that we learn is learned through feedback, from the time that we first find our mouth with our hand as a baby. Each of these skills contributes to stress management and health. For example, breath-holding is a common feature of most cardiac arrhythmias and other cardiovascular problems such as essential hypertention. While delta waves are observed below 2 Hz, those in that range are usually greatly enhanced by body movement and are best regarded as an artifact of motion rather than as an index of deep brain relaxation and unfocused attention. It's absence during this time is associated with suppression of growth hormone, as in chronic fatigue syndrome.
Growth hormone is necessary to repair the connective tissue in order to prevent aches and pains.
Suppressing delta activity through Delta Brainwave Biofeedback results in an alert brain and supports improved focus of attention. We help individuals make choices that fit their body's requirements and their preferences and lifestyle. Programs are individually tailored to the abilities and preferences of the client, stressing improving flexibility, muscle tone, and general fitness and health. This training is useful with urinary incontinence through increasing general tone of the pubic floor musculature. It is also useful in other cases where it is desirable to increase muscle tone and activity, as with paralyzed muscles.
