Manual Biofeedback for Pain Relief and Rehabilitation
Based on Anat Baniel Method
Your brain controls every movement, thought, feeling, and emotion. When you change the movement patterns in your brain, it can reorganize itself to improve how you feel and eliminate pain. This is called neuroplasticity.
Through gentle, precise touch, Diane provides biofeedback that helps the brain build new neural pathways and learn more efficient ways to move and feel.
This therapy is done on a massage style table. Diane refers to the person on the table as a student, because their nervous system is in a learning state throughout the session. While the experience is deeply relaxing, it’s important for the student to remain awake and attentive, noticing how their body feels and holds itself in each moment. As the body releases chronic muscle contractions, the bones naturally settle into better alignment. By observing these changes the student’s brain creates new neural connections allowing the body to function in a new and better way.

Testimonial 1
"I have had back pain since I was a child. No one, from doctors in the UK to doctors and
chiropractors here, has been able to do anything of consequence about it. After a couple of car
accidents over the years and discovering that my neck had actually fused I resigned myself to
a life of pain.
In addition to my back pain, after a long course of steroids, arthritis developed quickly in my
shoulders, hips and knees. More pain on top of pain. I could barely get in and out of the car.
Then I discovered Diane Curriden and her Manual Biofeedback. Having tried all kinds of
methods and techniques, I was skeptical to say the least. My wife was taking yoga lessons
with Diane and had a couple of sessions with the Manual Biofeedback. She said that it was
remarkable and that I should try it.
I did and became a believer almost immediately. After the first few lessons I was feeling much,
much better. I still had a few pains here and there because now I was able to focus on where
exactly they were. Before I was just generally ‘in pain’. Now, with me being able to pin-point
the areas, Diane would focus a lesson on each individually. The difference after each lesson
was remarkable.
My arthritis continues to develop and I expect with further degeneration I will need future
attention and re-training but so far, after about two or three months, thanks to Diane, I’m
almost 100% pain free most of the time.
I can't recommend the treatment more highly." Michael from Solvang
