Low Energy Neurofeedback
LENS Neurofeedback is a gentle, noninvasive, and highly effective tool for helping the brain self-regulate and heal. Developed by Dr. Len Ochs and used in clinical settings for over 30 years, the Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) uses real-time brainwave readings and delivers a subtle, offset signal back to the brain—stimulating it to reset, rebalance, and improve its own functioning. Sessions are brief, painless, and require no active effort from the client. According to the founders of LENS many people experience meaningful changes within just a few sessions, making LENS a powerful option for those dealing with anxiety, trauma, attention issues, or neurological challenges.
“The LENS is a specific kind of neurofeedback that operates much more rapidly than “traditional neurofeedback” and has qualities that make it easier to use with people who are unable to sit still. With the LENS, the client doesn’t need to “do” anything, and there is nothing to learn. The typical session with the LENS lasts 3-4 minutes. This means that the LENS works well for people who either cannot pay attention to a computer screen for longer time periods like those used in “traditional neurofeedback.” – Ochs Labs
LENS Neurofeedback supports the brain’s natural ability to self-correct, offering meaningful benefits across a wide range of functional challenges—without being tied to a specific diagnosis. In the context of physical therapy, LENS has shown positive results in improving motor control issues such as spasticity, tremors, poor balance, and coordination difficulties often seen in conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, and other neurological disorders. It can also be a powerful tool in managing pain—helping reduce symptoms related to migraines, fibromyalgia, muscle pain, and chronic brain-generated pain where the nervous system misinterprets signals.
Whether you're seeking support for movement quality or long-term pain relief, LENS offers a noninvasive, effective option to complement your rehabilitation journey.
