Do you agree with my opinion that none of the highest-quality therapies will be effective if the patient lacks motivation? My husband and I have been working on this issue, and our goal was to find a motivating therapy for our protégés. After extensive research, we found the right device – namely, Biofeedback with Kinect. Nowadays, it’s easier to learn more about your own body, and from this perspective, Biofeedback is a unique therapy device because it can measure physical processes. The insights gained from the results can then be used in various ways to improve body functions and their modulation. Biofeedback therapy is typically used by doctors or physiotherapists to help neurological and orthopedic patients. An important factor here is motivation. Everyone wants to win! And with Biofeedback, it’s about activating self-healing powers unconsciously in a playful way.

Boring therapy? Train with fun and success!

At our Rehazentrum Malovec, we have set ourselves the goal of aligning the treatments for our neurological and orthopedic patients with the most modern standards currently used in rehab centers. I can assure you that you can expect only the highest quality from us. The latest therapy method, such as Biofeedback with Kinect, is a crucial part of our successful rehab concept. And if a rehab is fun, then we have achieved our goal, because in my opinion, there’s nothing better than doing good for your body through a simple game. The most important thing is to teach the patient to not only be aware of processes occurring in the body but also to influence them consciously. This system motivates patients by setting fun goals on a monitor for training exercises, which are both mental (to learn how to process information) and physical: after just 20 minutes of playtime with a special program tailored to each individual’s strengths and weaknesses, the player strengthens their body muscles and simultaneously gains knowledge to improve specific areas like strength or endurance.

Who is it recommended for?

Since every game can be played in various positions, Biofeedback is suitable for people of all ages. Biofeedback is a unique therapy method that helps alleviate various impairments but can also be used as fitness training for healthy individuals. Biofeedback in combination with our Rocher cage can further support improvements. Our therapists often combine existing therapies with other treatments. This also applies to Biofeedback. If our goal is to strengthen the lower extremities, it is beneficial to perform the exercises in the Rocher cage. Our program has no limits. For example, even children who cannot stand independently will master this game with the help of the Rocher cage. I love watching patients in our RehaZentrum during Biofeedback because their joy, despite their full concentration, is immense, and we are incredibly pleased.

What is measured?

As mentioned, every game can be played standing, sitting, or lying down, with an important part being the range of motion adjustment. For some patients, one side of the body may be more impaired than the other, so we can observe that, for example, the right side achieves better results than the left during the exercises. But there’s no need to worry; the settings in Biofeedback are very flexible and can be adjusted. If the patient improves gradually, the game can be made more challenging. At the end of the game, it is evaluated, and the therapist can see the patient’s reaction skills and range of motion. Do you also want to improve your cognitive abilities and memory? This is no problem at all for us at RehaZentrum Malovec; we will tailor the program to your needs. With Biofeedback, you can also learn how the body reacts to specific triggers and use this knowledge for self-regulation. The more you understand your impairments—whether physical or psychological—the better you can manage them and make further progress.

What do the studies say?

Biofeedback therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions. Recent studies have shown that Biofeedback therapy with Kinect can be particularly beneficial as it provides patients with an entertaining and engaging experience while making progress. This combination of therapies has proven effective for patients who report improvements in cognitive abilities, endurance, strength, range of motion, concentration, and self-awareness. The combination of Biofeedback therapy with the TheraSuit program has proven to be particularly effective.

Reward Therapy

In summary, Biofeedback therapy is a form of reward that can help patients achieve their goals. Patients look forward to Biofeedback therapy where they can playfully win their games. And every day, they can achieve more. Patients earn points and can compare the results from each day. This helps them stay motivated and continue with their treatment plan. The positive effects of this treatment are clear, and several clients should consider trying it. Have you ever tried Biofeedback therapy? If not, what is stopping you? Put on your sportswear and schedule a free training session. See for yourself how this therapy can motivate you, and then decide if it could bring progress to your or your child’s development process.
