Biofeedback/Stress Management
Stress and tension have many adverse effects on both physical and emotional health. Headaches, hypertension, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety are all examples of health problems, which may be related to an inability to cope effectively with stress. Biofeedback can help an individual become aware of the effects of stress on the body. Individuals can learn relaxation skills, which will be of benefit physically and emotionally.
