What is Resperate Therapy? Your Personal Biofeedback Coach for Blood Pressure

Resperate is a clinically proven, non-invasive device that utilizes respiratory and HRV (Heart Rate Variability) biofeedback to gently guide you to harness the power of therapeutic breathing to naturally lower your blood pressure. It's the only device of its kind cleared by the FDA for blood pressure reduction, and it does so without medication or side effects.

​

How Resperate Works (The Biofeedback Loop):

​

• Resperate uses a specialized sensor to pick up your unique breathing patterns. This physiological data is then translated into personalized musical tones played through a comfortable headset. These tones serve as real-time feedback, subtly prompting you to adjust your breathing:

​

• Slow Down Your Breathing: You learn to gently extend your exhalations, engaging the natural calming response.

​

• Synchronize with Your Body's Rhythms: The guided tones help you align your breathing with your heart and circulatory system, optimizing their coherence.

​

• Activate Your Parasympathetic Nervous System: By consciously influencing your breathing based on the feedback, you activate your body's "rest and digest" system. This helps to counteract the "fight or flight" stress response that can constrict blood vessels.

​

• Relax Constricted Blood Vessels: As your nervous system calms through this learned regulation, your blood vessels naturally widen, allowing blood to flow more freely and reducing the pressure against arterial walls.

​

• Consistent use of Resperate trains your body to automatically keep your blood vessels relaxed, leading to a sustained reduction in blood pressure over time through learned self-regulation.

​

How Resperate Supports Blood Pressure Management

High blood pressure (hypertension) often stems from a complex interplay of factors, including chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. Resperate directly targets these physiological mechanisms through its biofeedback training:

​

• Reduces Sympathetic Nervous System Activity: By promoting deeper, slower breathing patterns via biofeedback, Resperate effectively reduces the "fight or flight" response, which typically elevates heart rate and constricts blood vessels.

​

• Promotes Vasodilation: As the nervous system calms through learned self-regulation, blood vessels relax and widen, directly lowering arterial pressure.

​

• Improves Baroreflex Sensitivity: It enhances the body's natural reflex system that helps maintain blood pressure stability, making your cardiovascular system more resilient.

​

• Clinically Proven Results: Numerous studies have demonstrated Resperate's ability to significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure with regular, guided use.

​

• Resperate therapy serves as an excellent standalone intervention for managing high blood pressure or as a powerful complement to existing treatment plans, including lifestyle modifications or medication, always under appropriate medical guidance.
