The measured values are visible in graphs and displayed on a screen. This way you get direct feedback from your body signals. The measured values are compared by your biofeedback therapist with normal values to determine whether there is physiological stress/tension.

Furthermore, it is examined whether sufficiently rapid recovery takes place after a stress reaction. Something that is missing with chronic stress.

You can also see what helps you to relax more deeply. In addition, attention is paid to maintaining energy balance, alternating effort with relaxation, healthy lifestyle, time management, meaning and avoiding personal pitfalls.

The measuring equipment is used in different ways during your recovery training.

When there is tension and stress, the body prepares itself to take action. This process is controlled by your primal brain and also occurs in animals: during a threat you must be able to fight or flee quickly. To do this, the heart rate increases, muscles tense, alertness increases and extra energy is released.

It also happens to people, but usually it is not a physical threat. We have to deal with psychological “threats”, such as situations in which we lose control, a high workload or a lot of worries.

Just like animals, we then enter a state of readiness. This takes a lot of energy. When we are in this state for a long time, we lack energy.

If we do not recover sufficiently, we then overexploit our body.

Complaints may arise such as fatigue, a lethargic feeling, loss of attention and concentration, memory problems, sleeping problems, pain in the neck and shoulders, being easily irritated and a busy or chaotic head. The further we get in this process of over-exploitation, the more difficult it is to relax. This creates a downward spiral: there is already too little energy and due to an inability to relax, even less energy is returned to the body.

At Sens you will learn what you need to do to replenish your energy reserves and recover better. A biofeedback measurement determines whether the body can relax and recover sufficiently. If not, biofeedback treatment will teach you how to gain better control over stress responses and relax effectively.

Sens works with CSR (Chronic Stress Reversal), where interventions such as breathing training, relaxation training, fitness building, healthy lifestyle, time management, personal effectiveness and relapse prevention are offered tailor-made.
