Contraindications
Because Myofeedback therapy does not “do” anything to the body, few contraindications exist.
Myofeedback therapy is not recommended for persons with severe psychosis, depression, or
obsessional neurosis, nor for debilitated patients or those with psychopathic personalities.
However, because resulting functional improvements can require strenuous physical effort,
individuals interested in Myofeedback may need to be aerobically fit.
Precautions and Warnings:
Myofeedback is dangerous for diabetics and others with endocrine disorders, as it can change
the need for insulin and other medications. Please check with the doctor to see whether this is
an appropriate treatment for you.
