How do I build a successful Biofeedback practice?

A personal sense of mission is the best foundation upon which to build success. Such a sense of mission about biofeedback may not be so hard to achieve because the tools which reduce suffering and enhance self knowledge are surely technology at its highest. Therefore, the better your training and equipment the quicker you will integrate this scientific art form with your own therapy style, the deeper will be your inspiration and the greater your enthusiasm. "Nothing of importance can be accomplished without enthusiasm." Emerson

There are two fundamental considerations:

1. Acquiring the correct equipment and training.
2. Making the economic aspects of your practice work.

The Economics Of Biofeedback
 
Some of our clients are so economically sophisticated that we consult with them so we can pass their expertise on to those who need it. However, many health care professionals need assistance in developing the business side of this science and art. General business knowledge for this field is relatively easy to come by, and we usually cover it in our seminars and with clients who acquire equipment from us. However, the most successful practices go beyond general economics to the acquisition of specific information that allows them to maximize their unique circumstances. Our consulting services meet this need and those who have used them report a high return on their investment. Biofeedback practices range from small adjunctive services comprising a small percentage of a particular health care enterprise to multi million dollar profit centers. Whatever your goals in this area, we can help you get there. Obviously, you can call us and we will answer questions for you until you feel you can make the best decisions for your circumstances.

What is the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America?

The Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA) was created in January 1981 to establish and maintain standards for practitioners who use biofeedback, and certify those who meet these standards. BCIA is an autonomous nonprofit corporation. Its primary mission is to protect the public welfare by assuring the competence of certified biofeedback practitioners. BCIA policies and procedures are determined by an independent board which is comprised of a rotating group of distinguished biofeedback clinicians and researchers.

In 1996 the Board of Directors of the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America and the Academy of Certified Neurotherapists collaborated to develop a specialty certification in EEG Biofeedback to be managed and administered by BCIA. The opportunity to certify through the grand parenting process ended on December 31, 1997. As of 1998 the formal certification program in EEG Biofeedback is underway. In 2004 certification in Pelvic Muscle Dysfunction was added.
