Tipps und Entscheidungshilfen für die Ausbildungswahl

Biofeedback is an alternative treatment option that is part of behavioral medicine. It can be used for clients with physical, psycho-osomatic or chronic complaints. As a rule, this treatment method is carried out as part of psychotherapy or counseling, as well as by doctors, occupational therapists, mental coaches or counselors. The aim is for clients to learn to perceive and influence subconscious processes in their own bodies. These include, for example, blood pressure, heart rate, the activity of the sweat glands or even brain waves. Patients are connected to biofeedback devices using various sensors that monitor muscle tension, blood pressure or sweat gland activity. This data is transmitted directly to the screen, allowing the processes to be tracked immediately. This leads to revealing insights into the body's reaction to external influences and internal processes and can be helpful in coping with the processes, e.g. by means of relaxation techniques.

Anyone who has completed biofeedback training can use this method to help people with the following complaints:

  • Migraine
  • Tension headache
  • Chronic muscle tension and back pain
  • High blood pressure
  • Incontinence
  • Intestinal complaints
  • Epilepsy
  • Sleep disorders
  • Tinnitus

In the biofeedback training course, participants learn how to operate the hardware and software independently and how to interpret the results of the biofeedback devices. They are also enabled to make well-founded findings and to meticulously record and carry out the treatment. As mentioned above, the biofeedback training is aimed at professionals with a degree or completed basic training in the medical field with a Tronc Commun, such as alternative medicine practitioners, psychotherapeutic professionals, doctors, counselors, coaches or occupational therapists, etc.

Questions and answers

Neurofeedback is a part of biofeedback. Biofeedback refers to everything that can be measured via current curves in the body, i.e. muscle tension, breathing or other characteristics. In neurofeedback training, you learn how to measure the current curves of the brain.

Biofeedback measures various parameters such as pulse, heart rate, breathing, blood circulation, body temperature, skin conductance, neurofeedback (brain waves) and muscle tension.

A reputable neurofeedback training course lasts around two years. Of course, this also depends on the form of teaching, the number of hours per week and other training-specific features. Ask the school of your choice about these criteria and also keep an eye on the course content.

Psychotherapists, doctors, occupational therapists, mental coaches and counselors with neurofeedback training with a school diploma or certificate are authorized to offer neurofeedback and biofeedback as part of their counseling or therapy.
