Wednestday Tip: Neurofeedback - training the brain!

Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback where we use an electroencephalogram (aka EEG) to record the brainwaves.

This is the same type of recording you would do for someone with epilepsy, during a sleep study, or after a head injury for example...it essentially tells us how the brain is performing.

As we record the brainwaves moment to moment, the software is assessing and analysing, looking for healthy waves.

Once it discovers one, the machine signals to the brain that it’s doing something correct, via the screen you’re watching or music you’re listening to. This acts like a mirror so the brain can start correcting itself. New pathways are formed as the brain becomes stronger and ultimately these new pathways are used to override unhealthy areas that are present in the brain.

This type of treatment is incredibly versatile and is effective on people suffering from anxiety to insomnia; ptsd to epilepsy - even medication resistant epilepsy.

Research shows that the brain continues to be molded and renewed just like the rest of the body well into your 80s and beyond!! It's never too late to change your brain.

If you are curious and would like more info on Neurofeedback, do drop me a message. I run a practice from my home and help people of all ages, all backgrounds heal things they didn’t think was possible.
