Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a wellness approach that uses certified technology to assess the body’s functional balance and support its natural self-regulatory processes. At ForHealth in Viseu, sessions are conducted using certified SCIO equipment — a non-invasive, painless and medication-free method aimed at achieving physical, emotional and energetic balance.

How does biofeedback work?

Using very low-intensity electrical signals, the system analyses the body’s responses and identifies possible functional imbalances. In response, it emits specific frequencies designed to support the body’s natural self-regulatory processes. The entire process is guided by a therapist and carried out whilst the client is comfortably seated or lying down, without any discomfort.

What is Biofeedback used for?

The aim of biofeedback is to promote the body’s rebalancing and general wellbeing, supporting the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation. It is often sought by those who wish to:

• manage day-to-day stress and tension;
• improve sleep quality and energy levels;
• support emotional balance and a sense of calm;
• complement healthier lifestyle habits as a preventative measure.

How does a session work?

Each session begins with a brief conversation to understand your goals and general state of wellbeing. This is followed by a reading using the SCIO device and, based on the analysis, frequency-guided rebalancing. The session is gentle, painless and requires no special preparation. At the end, the therapist shares their observations and, where appropriate, suggests suitable follow-up care.

Is it safe? Are there any contraindications?

SCIO Biofeedback technology is suitable for adults and children and is a non-invasive, painless method that does not involve the use of medication. As a precaution, its use is not recommended for people with pacemakers or other implantable electronic devices, during pregnancy, or for people with epilepsy, unless otherwise advised by their doctor.

Certified SCIO technology

Certified biofeedback equipment, developed in accordance with international quality and safety standards, is used during the sessions, ensuring technological reliability and a high standard of performance.
