HRV is a form of biofeedback therapy training that involves feeding back beat by beat heart rate data during slow breathing so that the breathing matches heart rate patterns. A biofeedback device shows the patient when they have maximized this interaction on a computer monitor. This affects the activation and calming of our nervous system.

While the rhythmic beating of the heart at rest was once believed to be consistent and regular, we now know that the rhythm of a healthy heart under resting conditions is actually surprisingly irregular. HRV is an important indicator of both physiological resiliency and behavioral flexibility, reflecting an individual’s capacity to adapt effectively to stress and environmental demands. Both a large degree of variability and too little variation can be related to chronic pain, anxiety and depression as well as numerous other symptoms.

HRV Training uses sensor to detect the variations in heart rate, and presents a display on a computer monitor. By controlling your breathing pattern and intentionally shifting to a positive emotion, such as appreciation, care, or compassion, your heart rhythms and breathing become synchronized and create a healthier emotional state.

This shift in heart rhythms creates a favorable cascade of neuronal, hormonal, and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. Blood pressure drops. Stress hormones plummet. The immune system pumps up. Anti-aging hormones increase. You gain clarity, calmness, and control.

In today’s world, it is not uncommon that young children through adults to experience stress. As we know, stress is linked to illnesses like cancer, lung disease, suicide among many other.

By applying Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Training to your training routine you increase your changes to succeed by learning to regulate your own body during stress situations. The benefit will certainly go beyond the sport and to daily life events like solving exams at school, relationships and social interactions.

These are some of the benefits HRV can provide:

• Better personal health
