Biofeedback-online.org is a web site sponsored by the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback. The goals of the association are to promote a new understanding of biofeedback and advance the methods used in this practice. On the Biofeedback-online.org site, you can find background information about biofeedback and what conditions it is used to treat. You can also access the database of practitioners provided by the BCIA

Biofeedback is a non-invasive form of treatment in which a practitioner uses readings -- such as skin temperature, muscle tension and/or brainwave function -- from your body to help you make certain changes in behaviour. The new responses and behaviors can help to bring relief and improvement to a variety of disorders. The *Biofeedback Certification Institute of America was created to establish and maintain standards for practitioners who use biofeedback and to certify those who meet these standards. The BCIA website offers access to information about biofeedback and the certification process.
