Dr. Grubb Article And Biofeedback

[kmpower]

Hi. This is directed mainly to patients of Dr. Grubb.

In the article which was linked for us recently on Orthostatic Hypotension, there is a sentence in which Dr. Grubb says that biofeedback is sometimes helpful. There are different kinds of biofeedback. Does anyone know what he meant when he said that? Or could you ask him if you have an opportunity?

Thanks.

I had this same question - here is a link to the old post. According to one of the old DINET newsletters, there is a series of articles by Dr. Grubb on this, which I was never able to find. I would LOVE to find them and get biofeedback treatment.

Actually, I see the names of some articles on Pubmed, but can't find a way to access the articles. Does anyone have copies of these?

Thank you, Briarrose, for these links. I checked them all, but didn't read every word. It isn't completely clear to me what kind of biofeedback they are working with. I am guessing that it has to do with peripheral temperature or heart rate feedback (as opposed to neurofeedback or muscle relaxation).

Thanks, again.

Your welcome.

I kind of took it that it was relaxation therapy.

One other thing, maybe you could try contacting Ken Davis in Toledo, Ohio and asking him about it specifically. Isn't he the one that uses it?

I just wanted to share that I am working with a psychologist right now on bio-feedback.. we actually havent started working on the "techniques" yet b/c of other things going on.. but she is familiar with pots.. and has treated some other pots patients..

I am primarily learning bio-feedback to help with insomnia and control my pain (bone+migranes)... I told bev at dr.g's office that I was starting bio-feedback and they were all for it.. and though it was agood idea..

my psychologist want s to teach me how to get deep muscles relaxations.. thru breathing exercises and stuff.. I'm more then willing to share what is involved in it if anybody would like to know via PM's or email

Thanks, Dizzygirl. As soon as you learn the technique(s), I would love a post or a PM. Biofeedback is very empowering, and for most people it's not supposed to be that hard to learn.
