What is Neurofeedback?

Do not be put off by the term Neurofeedback…In simple terms Neurofeedback is cross aerobic training for your brain.

Neurofeedback can be thought of as exercise for the brain, utilizing advanced computer technology as your exercise equipment. It can be thought of as an inner tune up. Strengthening your brain and central nervous system results in improved sleep and hence more stability in your health and overall performance.

People who engage in this form of exercise fall asleep easier, wake up feeling more refreshed, pay attention better and calm down easier. Neurofeedback allows your brain to become more flexible and resilient, which can improve your stamina for stress.

Often emphasis is put on exercising our outer physical body, but not much attention is put into looking good on the inside.   It is our experience that when we feel calm, peaceful, focused and energized, achieving our “outside” goals and dreams are easier.

Why Do People Choose Do Neurofeedback Training?

The most common reason that people seek Neurofeedback training is that they are experiencing something that they don’t want. This may be physical, mental or emotional. Another common reason that people seek Neurofeedback is for enhancement of focus and concentration. For this reason, students of all ages seek Neurofeedback training.

Many professionals, athletes and performers seek Neurofeedback training to maximize their productivity and performance. Many seek Neurofeedback training to enhance their meditation practice, facilitating their own healing journey and for stress management.

Does It Hurt?

The experience is pleasantly relaxing and does not involve pain or discomfort. You begin by sitting in a relaxing chair. The equipment monitors the electromagnetic waves that are naturally created by your brain. Your brainwaves are measured by small sensors which are placed on your head. Nothing is put into your brain and nothing is taken away; the sensors simply provide a method of measurement.

What Does A Session Look Like?

A session of Neurofeedback in Vancouver at UR WellnessYou sit back and watch a video display with animations, listening to relaxing music. The images and music produced respond to your brain activity. When the Neurofeedback software senses that your brain is in a calmer, more relaxed state, the images flow and the music plays.

When the Neurofeedback software senses that your brain is in a less relaxed state, the images and music are interrupted. The interruptions in the visual and audio act as signals for your brain to “re set” itself, allowing your brain to reorganize itself into a more natural, relaxed, and effective pattern.

After a session, you will emerge from the training feeling refreshed, relaxed and in a higher state of mental alertness.

How Does Neurofeedback Help?

A session of Neurofeedback in Vancouver at UR WellnessLearning to balance your brain dynamics allows more effective day to day functioning, providing a foundation for growth and stability. Exercising your brain allows it to process information more efficiently and therefore, you are less likely to become overwhelmed by stress, or become stuck in unhealthy behavioural patterns. Neurofeedback training provides you with information, both at a conscious and subconscious level, and over time more healthful patterns become firmly established.

How Many Neurofeedback Sessions Will I need?

Most people will usually see results within 1-3 training sessions. Lasting results are often achieved with a series of 20 Neurofeedback sessions. Children with attention and focus issues and those seeking symptom resolution from chronic health conditions may require 40 + sessions. Many people choose to engage in 40+ sessions as they explore their personal evolution. Your results may vary according to your goals and individual response to training. Call 604-831-1330 to discuss your training needs with Penny.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy at UR WellnessCraniosacral therapy is a gentle hands on method of evaluating and enhancing your nervous system's natural capacity for self repair. While lying fully clothed on a massage table, the therapist will gently apply manual pressure to your head, spine and limbs to tune in and “listen” to what is happening in your body. This light pressure acts as a mirror for the body and allows gentle releases to occur. Most people experience a sense of deep relaxation which extends into everyday life. Craniosacral therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for babies, children and the elderly.

Craniosacral Therapy Fees:
  • One Hour Visit: $85
  • Pre Paid Packages: Pre pay for 9 visits get 10th free

Each Visit includes a brief “check in” and a 45-50 minute “hands on” session

Reflexology

Reflexology at UR WellnessReflexology is a natural healing art used as a form of stress management. Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to every part of the body. Massaging and applying pressure to the feet or hands can have a positive impact on the nervous system as tension is released and circulation improved. Reflexology can compliment all forms of body work and traditional health care.

Penny has also trained with Lynne Booth, the developer of Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT). VRT is a new form of reflexology that is applied to weight-bearing feet for a few minutes before or after the conventional reflexology session. The therapeutic response from VRT is often quicker, especially with orthopaedic problems. VRT can also be used as a brief first-aid treatment or as part of a comprehensive 25 minute treatment for hospices, the workplace, schools, sports centres, etc.

Reflexology Fees:
  • One Hour Visit: $75
  • Pre Paid Packages: Pre pay for 9 visits get the 10th free

Each Visit includes a brief “check in” and a 45-50 minute “hands on” session
