Biofeedback & Integrative Body Therapies
Harnessing the Power of the Body to Heal
At Cypress Counseling & Wellness, we believe in the deep connection between the mind and body. Our Biofeedback and Integrative Body Therapies offer a range of non-invasive, evidence-based tools to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being. These therapies are designed to help regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and promote healing from the inside out. They also pair well with our Wellness Panels, which provide personalized insights into nutrition and dietary support, optimizing the impact of these therapies on your overall health.
Yoga & Breathwork
Yoga and Breathwork combine mindful movement with intentional breathing practices to reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and improve overall well-being. These integrative practices are accessible to individuals of all ages and fitness levels, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to reconnect with their body and mind.
By combining physical movement with deep, controlled breathing, yoga and breathwork help calm the nervous system, release physical and emotional tension, and reduce inflammation. These practices are particularly helpful for individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, as they promote relaxation, focus, and inner peace. Clients often leave sessions feeling more grounded, flexible, and mentally clear.
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a listening-based therapy that helps regulate the nervous system by improving vagal tone. Based on Polyvagal Theory, SSP involves listening to specially filtered music designed to calm the body’s stress response. This therapy is especially helpful for those dealing with anxiety, trauma, sensory processing issues, and emotional regulation challenges. By stimulating the vagus nerve, SSP works to quiet the nervous system and promote a sense of safety and emotional stability.
SSP is often used as a preparatory tool before deeper therapies such as EMDR or neurofeedback, helping clients feel more grounded and emotionally regulated. Over time, clients may experience improved social engagement, reduced anxiety, and a greater ability to process emotions and navigate daily life.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback
HRV Biofeedback is a technology that measures heart rate variability, providing real-time insights into how well your body is managing stress. Through biofeedback, clients learn how to control their stress response using breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques. This practice is especially useful for individuals dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, or physical symptoms like high blood pressure.
By improving heart rate variability, HRV biofeedback trains the body to become more resilient to stress. Over time, clients gain better control over their emotional and physiological responses, leading to greater emotional balance, improved physical health, and enhanced mental performance. It also supports anti-inflammatory responses, making it beneficial for overall wellness.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
PEMF Therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate cellular repair and improve blood circulation. PEMF therapy is particularly effective for reducing pain, inflammation, and promoting recovery in those with chronic pain or circulatory issues. Athletes also use PEMF therapy to accelerate muscle recovery and enhance overall performance.
Our PEMF mat works by improving blood flow and oxygenation at the cellular level, promoting faster healing and reducing physical discomfort. Its anti-inflammatory effects help relieve chronic pain, making it a powerful tool for those dealing with long-term conditions. Whether you’re managing ongoing health issues or seeking better energy and vitality, PEMF can support physical recovery and overall well-being.
Photobiomodulation (PBM)
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an advanced therapy that uses near-infrared light to stimulate the brain and body at a cellular level. The Vielight device delivers light through the nasal passage and scalp, targeting brain regions responsible for mood, cognition, and overall brain function. PBM therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing cognitive decline, mood disorders, and even recovery from traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
By promoting cellular energy production and reducing inflammation, PBM supports brain health and recovery, improving mental clarity, enhancing mood, and aiding in the healing of brain injuries. For individuals with TBI, this therapy can facilitate recovery by helping damaged brain cells regenerate. PBM is also being studied for its potential to reduce symptoms of neurodegenerative conditions, making it an exciting, cutting-edge therapy for overall brain health.
Audio Visual Entrainment (AVE)
Audio Visual Entrainment is a therapeutic approach that uses light and sound to influence brainwave activity and promote balance within the nervous system. This therapy works by delivering specific frequencies of light and sound, which stimulate brain cells and encourage optimal brainwave patterns, helping to regulate mood, cognitive function, and focus.
AVE is particularly effective for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and attention difficulties. By targeting specific brainwave frequencies, it can promote relaxation or enhance alertness, depending on the goals of the treatment. Additionally, photic stimulation has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain. This makes it a useful tool for improving brain function, recovery from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and supporting overall cognitive health.
