Biofeedback Electromyogram GSR Galvanic Skin Response EEG Electroencephalography, Complementary Therapy Clinics, Hypnotherapy, NLP, Reiki, EFT

Biofeedback is used by some complementary and alternative therapy practitioners It helps the practitioner to measure or monitor a number of things, for example, variations in skin temperature, blood pressure, galvanic skin response (GSR), heart rate, tension, anxiety. The practitioner is then in a better position to help the client or patient with his or her issue. Changes are observed in real time, thus the therapist can customise the therapy.

There are different devices / monitors used for different functions. Some are very good (and hence expensive), others are aimed at the self-help market (the cheaper versions with minimum functionality - thus not suitable for professional use):

• Electromyogram (EMG) (measuring muscle tension)

• Peripheral skin temperature (PST) 

• Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) (measuring sweat, perspiration, anxiety)

• Electroencephalography (EEG) (brain wave activity)

If you are a professional practitioner, it pays to shops around - don't just compare pricing - look at the functionality. Some cheaper devices will limit the information you can observe. The more information you get, the more effective your sessions.
