Biofeedback is a mind–body technique and a self-management tool in which participants learn to cultivate awareness about their unhealthy mental patterns and habits, and to improve their health by controlling bodily functions (e.g., breathing rate, heart rate, blood pressure), and to treat a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety or stress as well as asthma , heart problems , pain ,irritable bowel syndrome, and high blood pressure. Autogenic training, that is a relaxation technique developed in 1932 by Johannes Heinrich Schultz, involves simple relaxation and body awareness exercises reducing the body’s stress response in order to relax the body and begin self-healing, especially to treat stress disorders, pain, and anxiety. Standard autogenic training sessions focus on teaching participants’ bodies to respond to verbal commands and to “tell” their body to relax and control certain physiological responses (e.g., body temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure) on their own. Implementation of safe and effective mind–body therapies, (relaxation, stress management, biofeedback) as an essential part of a practical, holistic, integrative approach for an array of health-related problems, such as chronic low back pain, headache disorders, insomnia, cardiac rehabilitation(prevention of postinfarction morbidity/mortality), management of treatment and disease-related symptoms in cancer, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and postsurgical outcomes, give the following potential benefits
