The Stress Relief Stop

The Biofeedback expansion, The Stress Relief Stop, was created to give students an additional option to learn and experience various stress management strategies. Students have the opportunity to use interactive biofeedback equipment on an individual, non-therapist-facilitated basis. There is an initial screening by the program supervisor, followed by initial instruction for each participant. Participants will have the availability for multiple, on-going sessions with the various pieces of equipment.

emWave PC Stress Relief System (formerly Freeze-Framer)

Helps to transform stress and anxiety into vibrant energy. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, is used as it is recognized as a powerful, non-invasive measure that reflects heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in the emotional state. With emWave PC, one will learn to build a buffer against stress by accessing a high performance state called “coherence.” Coherence is a mental and emotional state that people experience when they are “in-sync” or in the “zone.” That is, when the heart, brain and nervous system are working in harmony.

RESPeRATE

The first, and only, non-drug medical device clinically proven to lower high blood pressure with no side effects. It provides a new option for lowering blood pressure, and can be safely used along with one’s current medication(s) and lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. It interactively guides you through therapeutic breathing exercises enabling you to “effortlessly” slow your breathing from the normal range of 14 to 16 breaths per minute to the “therapeutic zone” of under 10 breaths per minute with prolonged exhalation.
