By using electromechanical instruments,a person can receive information or feedback on his or her stress level.Having this knowledge allows the patient to develop awareness and voluntary control over his or her physiological symptoms.Biofeedback does not address energy fields.Directing energies is therapeutic touch.Manipulation of body alignment and joints is done by a chiropractor.
