BFB therapy (or biofeedback method) is a behavioral therapy technique that is implemented at the junction of hardware and computer technologies. The technique helps to see and learn to control physiological processes that are associated with the functioning of the human nervous system. Today, the biofeedback method is considered one of the most promising for the treatment of depression, panic attacks and other pathologies that cannot be dealt with by traditional means.
BFB therapy continuously monitors certain physiological indicators in real time: respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure, electrical activity of the brain, etc. All these parameters are translated into images that are easy to perceive: graphs, pictures or sounds.
And then the most interesting part begins: the human brain is offered exposure to certain images, music or other stimuli; depending on the problem, these can be, for example, videos with frightening content or photos on an exciting topic. Sensors attached to the body record changes in physiological indicators in response to these stimuli, and the patient learns to control his consciousness and his reactions, remembering and controlling his condition. For example, with the help of correct breathing and other relaxation techniques, you can get rid of anxiety, prevent panic attacks, relieve tension headaches or get rid of aerophobia.
The main goal of such therapy is to teach the patient to control his physiological state and "pass" unpleasant emotions through himself, preventing the development of shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat and other similar reactions. In this way, you can learn to control your body, which, in turn, according to the principle of feedback, "gives a command" to the brain, preventing the development of panic, anxiety and other pathological conditions.
The procedure is painless and safe, biofeedback trainings are suitable for both adults and children. Each session at the health resort takes about 30-40 minutes on average, the patient consistently learns to control his condition and the body's response to stimuli. To achieve the result and consolidate the treatment, 2 to 10 sessions are required, their number can be increased, depending on the severity of the patient's condition and the doctor's recommendations in each specific case. One of the most important conditions for achieving a quick and noticeable effect is the patient's motivation for recovery and his active and interested participation in the treatment.
BOS therapy in the Ivushka sanatorium is perfectly combined with such therapeutic procedures as swimming in an indoor pool with sea water and general massage.
