Generate a list of clinical goals regarding tension relief using biofeedback training, and prioritize these goals from a long-life perspective.
5. Cardiac variability among clients can be improved with resonant frequency biofeedback training. Discuss three strategies to increase heart rate variability and the rationales for using each.
