Biofeedback: Bogus or Brilliant?

Key Concepts:

• Biofeedback is an autoregulation, or self-monitoring, technique. It provides information about the “agreeableness” of a particular movement with your body.

• Range of motion testing, like the toe touch, and handgrip strength are two of the easiest ways to apply biofeedback.

• To find the best variation of a movement for you on a particular day, simply establish your baseline measurement, then repeat the test in between a few variations of the movement to see which one tests the highest.

• Biofeedback can be used to individualize and optimize training, help get out of pain, or just become more in tune with your body.
