Train Your Nervous System with HeartMath® Biofeedback in Los Angeles
Feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or chronic pain in Los Angeles? HeartMath® Biofeedback Training at Body and Mind Pain Center is a scientifically validated system to help you regulate your nervous system, build resilience, and improve well-being. Led by Zev Nevo, learn to actively manage your physiology, transform your stress response, and potentially alleviate physical symptoms.
What is HeartMath & HRV Coherence?
HeartMath focuses on Heart Rate Variability (HRV), the beat-to-beat changes reflecting your nervous system state. Stress creates chaotic (incoherent) HRV patterns; positive emotions create smooth, ordered patterns (coherence). Coherence signifies heart-brain-nervous system synchronization, promoting balance and efficiency. HeartMath techniques plus biofeedback technology (Inner Balance™/emWave®) help you learn to achieve coherence.
How HeartMath Helps with Pain and Nervous System Regulation:
- Stress Resilience: Builds capacity to handle stressors effectively.
- ANS Balance: Trains shifting towards calming parasympathetic states.
- Pain Perception Modulation: Calmer nervous system may reduce pain sensitivity (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, IBS, pelvic pain). Improves coping.
- Emotional Regulation: Manages anxiety, depression, frustration.
- Improved Physiological Function: Linked to better hormonal balance (cortisol/DHEA) and immune function.
- Enhanced Mental Clarity: Coherence supports focus and decision-making.
