Stress affects the entire body and can cause physical and psychological problems. Overtime, unchecked stress can cause the body to stay in a constant and chronic state of stress promoting migraines, fatigue and illness. Research has demonstrated several types of biofeedback practices can be helpful to reduce stress and regulate heart rate variability.
