Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback
At Point Loma Clinic, we harness the power of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback as an effective tool in our holistic approach to mental health and well-being. HRV biofeedback is a technique that enables individuals to gain control over their autonomic nervous system by regulating the variations in the time intervals between heartbeats. By training clients to achieve a coherent and balanced heart rate pattern, HRV biofeedback promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and enhanced emotional resilience, ultimately leading to improved overall health.
Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art Nexus 10 equipment to provide precise and personalized HRV biofeedback sessions. This advanced technology enables real-time monitoring and analysis of heart rate variability, allowing our experienced psychologists to offer immediate feedback and guidance as clients learn to modulate their physiological responses. Additionally, we offer home training equipment such as HeartMath devices, empowering clients to continue their biofeedback practice outside of the therapy setting, thus reinforcing and extending the benefits of their treatment.
HRV biofeedback is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and more. Typically, clients undergo approximately six sessions of HRV biofeedback therapy, though the exact number may vary based on individual needs and progress. As part of the treatment process, our psychologists may also incorporate breath retraining techniques to further enhance relaxation and stress management skills.
