The measured values are visible in graphs and are 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, which shows whether there is physiological stress/tension.

Furthermore, it is investigated whether recovery takes place sufficiently quickly after a stress reaction, something that is lacking in 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 various ways during your recovery training.

In tension and stress, the body will prepare itself to take action. This process is controlled by your primal brain and also occurs in animals: when threatened, you must be able to fight or flee quickly. In order to do this, the heart rate increases, muscles tense, alertness increases and extra energy is released.

It happens to people too, but usually it is not a physical threat. We are dealing 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 costs a lot of energy. When we are in this state for a long time, we run out of energy.

If recovery is insufficient, we over-exploit our bodies.

Complaints can arise such as fatigue, a listless feeling, loss of attention and concentration, memory problems, sleep problems, pain in the neck and shoulders, being easily irritated and a busy or chaotic head. The further we get in this process of overexploitation, 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 returns to the body.

At Sens you will learn what you need to do to replenish your energy reserves and recover better. A biofeedback measurement maps whether the body can relax and recover sufficiently. If this is not the case, you will learn through biofeedback treatment to gain better control over stress reactions and to relax effectively.

At Sens we work with CSR (Chronic Stress Reversal), offering tailor-made interventions such as breathing training, relaxation training, fitness building, healthy lifestyle, time management, personal effectiveness and relapse prevention.
