Train to reduce stress and improve brain function using the latest biofeedback technology.

All biofeedback starts with monitoring an aspect of your body's functioning and consists of interacting with a display of your physiology. For example, as people are relaxing their hands grow warmer. Imagine holding a digital thermometer in your fingers and letting your hand temperature go up as you relax. Biofeedback is natural, benign and non-invasive. Adverse effects from biofeedback are rare and minor such as a brief headache.

Introduction to HEG (HemoEncephaloGraphy) Neurofeedback 101: This is one in a series of two HemoEncephaloGraphy (HEG) Certification courses that will enable you to understand and use HEG neurofeedback at home or in your practice, whether you are a medical doctor, psychologist, educator or performance coach. HEG Neurofeedback is pre frontal cortex (brain) training, useful in managing conditions responsive to activation of your brain's executive center - the prefrontal cortex. Improved brain functioning can help you and your clients better manage behavioral challenges, memory, mood and attention. This painless, non-invasive, drug-free and fun training procedure allows you to exercise your brain while you monitor and respond to real-time, metabolic changes in your brain. This workshop covers practical and theoretical aspects of HEG neurotherapy with ample time for hands-on learning. Rate includes organic continental breakfast, lunch and snacks.

HEG neurofeedback is compatible with the following EEG/HEG systems: Thought Technology's TT-pIR or nIR HeadGear, ProComp 2, ProComp 5, Infinity or Flexcomp Infinity -pIR/nIR, Brain Master Atlantis - pIR/nIR, Stens Nexus 10 & Mark II - pIR/nIR, Cygnet and NeuroAmp - pIR/nIR, Pocket Neurobics - pIR/nIR and J.Carmen's EZPIR neurofeedback equipment.

Pelvic Floor Enhancement with EMG Biofeedback - $150

2011:
Thursday November 17, 2011


Pelvic Floor Enhancement: Biofeedback has been proven effective in treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence in numerous research studies. Biofeedback is used to help both women and men learn to control and strengthen the pelvic floor (PFM) muscles. PFM are a group of muscles that have a major role in bladder control. Weakness or dysfunction of the PFM can lead to problems with both bladder and rectal support and control.

Because you cannot directly see your PFM, they may be difficult to locate, isolate and exercise. Biofeedback uses computer audio and video graphics to reflect movement in the muscles you are exercising. You can measure muscle strength and tailor your own exercise program to gain control and strength of PFM.

We have made arrangements with the hotels listed to provide discounted rates to our participants. To receive our special BILA guest rates at hotels you MUST book at least 30-45 days in advance of your course. Please contact our office 800 BIO-ELAN for confirmation,rates and deadline.
