Legal Purpose of Biofeedback
By law, biofeedback is intended for the purpose of relaxation so clients can reduce their stress, better manage their pain, detoxify their body from the pollutants they eat, drink and inhale daily and improve their peak performance and the quality of their lives.
Licensed health care professionals may provide biofeedback services for pain management, stress reduction, detoxification, peak performance, quality of life enhancement and any other conditions, diseases, disorders or trauma permitted by their license scope of practice.
Certified biofeedback professionals may provide biofeedback services for pain management, stress reduction, detoxification, peak performance and quality of life enhancement.
Non-licensed, non-certified people may legally use biofeedback for their own family use only.
