Session Description
Biofeedback is becoming an ever-increasing field of research and interventions. As a recreational therapist, the use of biofeedback can be an effective tool when implementing different interventions such as stress management. Biofeedback can be used to measure the physiology of an individual in order to assess the effectiveness of an intervention. Biofeedback can also be used as an intervention to help manage symptoms related to specific physical and mental health issues including anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, headaches, constipation, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The purpose of this presentation is to provide recreational therapists with information about biofeedback, the benefits of biofeedback, and how to use biofeedback in recreational therapy.
