Biofeedback for Southern Africa

"The time has finally come to bring affordable biofeedback and neurofeedback equipment to South Africa!" says Lawrence Klein, Sales Director for Thought Technology, Montreal, Canada.

Donna Moser, Thought Technology agent for South Africa, has a vision for creating opportunities for the
self-regulation training capabilities of biofeedback to be accessible in southern Africa."From psychologists to physiotherapists, social workers to medical doctors, the applications for biofeedback in clinical practice are widely encompassing," asserts Donna, who has been using the ProComp + Biograph/Infiniti since 1998.

As a tool in my private clinical practice, biofeedback has helped me to empower clients to improve themselves in a myriad of ways. Many inattentive (ADD) children have benefited from learning to concentrate and focus at will with the Biograph Infiniti training screens.

At the Biofeedback Europe (BFE) Conference in Winterthur, Switzerland: Lawrence Klein Vice President of Thought Technology, with Donna Moser, South African Distributor for Thought Technology.

"With the ProComp Infiniti encoder and software, the clinician is able to discover the client's profile of individual symptom manifestations using specialised evaluation screens." From that unique assessment, the treatment plan may be tailor-made for the client to alter specific psychophysiological patterns for the ultimate goal of improved health and coping ability. The ability to learn and change belongs to the client, as well as the satisfaction of improving one's own health by choice.

The ability of the human being to consciously alter one's own physiology, including brainwaves, has opened up new frontiers in biofeedback applications. Developing states of optimal learning, heightened awareness and consciousness, and physical peak performance with the use of biofeedback equipment are arenas under research scrutiny which have proven to be positive and promising.

The year 2005 is Biofeedback's year to take off in South Africa.
