Biofeedback is a technique that allows a person to gain better control over their physiological responses using electronic or mechanical instruments to provide information about their physiological responses. The therapist can use biofeedback to help the client become more aware of their muscle tension by providing visual or auditory signals when they are tense, allowing the client to practice relaxation techniques to reduce muscle tension.
