What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback - also known as EEG biofeedback - is a scientifically recognized computer-based brain training method. It trains various brain functions such as concentration, memory, peak performance, creativity, relaxation etc. 
Neurofeedback is a gentle and effective restorative method for treating stress-related illnesses and functional disorders.
 
Scientific studies have shown that stress, strain, pain etc. change our brainwave patterns; as a result, chemical substances are released into the body that disturb the balance and lead to complaints. Neurofeedback is therefore basically suitable for everyone. Neurofeedback allows us to retune our brainwave patterns - sustainably and without side effects.
To determine the brainwaves, sensors are attached to the head and earlobes. The client sits relaxed in front of the screen and follows the graphic and acoustic display of the brainwaves.

Who can benefit from neurofeedback?
Children and adults with...

• Attention and concentration problems (e.g. ADD, ADHD, as well as frequent careless mistakes and distractibility) 
• Concentration and memory problems, memory problems in old age 
• Learning difficulties, learning disorders 
• Dyslexia and dyscalculia 
• Anxiety disorders such as: Test anxiety (including school stress), phobias, fear of heights, claustrophobia, panic attacks, etc. 
• Mood swings, mood instability, mental instability, lack of impulse control such as frequent fits of rage 
• Depression 
• Autism 
• Migraine, headaches 
• Sleep disorders (including nightmares, bedwetting, night terrors, sleepwalking, teeth grinding/bruxism, difficulty falling asleep or sleeping through the night) 
• Traumas 
• Epilepsy 
• Chronic pain, fibromyalgia 
• Stress of all kinds, irritable bowel syndrome, burnout or as burnout prophylaxis 
• Addictive behavior, addictions, eating disorders 
• High/low blood pressure 
• Digestive problems 
• Premenstrual syndrome PMS 
• General muscular tension / whiplash 
• Tinnitus 
• High sensitivity HSP (calming of neuronal overexcitation, strengthening of own filter mechanisms) 

and for...

• Improving performance in the school, academic or professional environment 
• Improving the ability to concentrate (working with focus, listening attentively, remembering easily) 
• Increased balance and relaxation 
• Peak performance 

• Biofeedback is a scientifically recognized, highly effective and non-invasive therapy and training method for visualizing and providing feedback on specific bodily functions (e.g. breathing, muscle tension, body temperature, pulse rate, skin resistance, etc.) that normally occur unconsciously and are important for recovery, well-being and performance. Using electronic devices and sensors, unconscious physiological functions are audiovisually reported back to the exerciser.

  PERSONAL

  Medicine has been with me since I was born. My father ran a general practice in our home together with my mother, so my siblings and I experienced the everyday life of a doctor first-hand. All topics relating to physical and mental health still interest me today. 
  Although I embarked on a career in education, in my work as a secondary school teacher I noticed the enormous influence that the mental and physical condition of students has on their performance and how much development potential still exists in these areas. Neurofeedback and biofeedback are two excellent training methods to optimize both the personal well-being and the performance of adolescents and adults.
  After a detailed and well-founded discussion, I will create an individually designed training program in combination with the objective test results, which we will carry out once or twice a week in my practice. 
  I am convinced that your well-being and performance will also improve and I look forward to welcoming you to Zollikerberg.

     

  During the biofeedback session, the trainee not only learns to consciously perceive these physiological processes, but also how they can specifically influence and stimulate these processes in their own body. Numerous controlled therapy studies have shown that biofeedback is a learning process through which patients can quickly gain voluntary self-control over their physiological system and then transfer this to everyday situations, even without a feedback device.
   

  Biofeedback can help children and adults with the following symptoms:

• Stress symptoms 
• Burnout 
• ADHD/ ADD 
• Anxiety disorders such as: Test anxiety (also school stress), phobias, fear of heights, claustrophobia, panic attacks, etc. 
• Depression 
• Chronic pain, fibromyalgia 
• High/low blood pressure 
• Eating disorders 
• Migraine, headaches 
• Sleep disorders
