BIOFEEDBACK

Biofeedback is a device used to read  muscle activity. The biofeedback unit generates an audio and/or visual cue to help a person gain awareness and control of their pelvic floor muscles or other important muscle groups. It can be used to strengthen or help relax a muscle. Either external sensors can be placed on the muscle or an internal probe can be used during treatment. 

For children, only external sensors are used.

​

Biofeedback can help isolate the pelvic floor muscles for strengthening or can be used to bring awareness to tense muscles that may be causing pain.

​

Biofeedback has proven effective in the treatment of incontinence and pelvic pain. Physical therapy treatment to eliminate or minimize incontinence and pelvic pain is a safe, conservative approach to pelvic floor dysfunction.
