[QUOTE="RichardNY, post: 110509, member: 21627"] Hi all, I was wondering if any of you practise/use Biofeedback techniques it's something that I have just started to read about amongst many other things for pain management. I'm not talking about Biofeedback machines but rather the definition of Biofeedback as described by the Mayo Clinic. “Biofeedback is a type of complementary and alternative medicine called mind-body therapy. It's designed to enable you — in mind-over-matter fashion — to use your thoughts and will to control your body. Biofeedback is based on the idea, confirmed by scientific studies, that people have the innate potential to influence with their minds many of the automatic, involuntary functions of their bodies.” If you read it out of context like that its sounds a bit 'voodoo' but having found that there are a good few recognised bodies out there that implement and have 'how to' exercises and classes I thought it was worth a little more investigation. To be honest doe's anybody have any techniques that help them manage pain ? Similar to this perhaps Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (although I understand CBT to be more to do with feelings and emotions) or other techniques that I haven't even heard of or dreamed of ? Is it all simplistically put creating a bigger distraction to move your 'focus' onto something else for example playing a video game, painting, ballroom dancing, carpentry or something else entirely ? Perhaps drinking 20 pints off old fuggles sweet oblivion and falling over in a numb stupor ! :lol: So long as something is not doing more damage than good then whatever works for you in my opinion is great and may just be something that will work for me too . All the best Richard. [/QUOTE]
