Pelvic PT
Biofeedback
Biofeedback
Pelvic Health Physical Therapy (PHPT) includes external and internal evaluation of the pelvic floor muscle, nerves and pelvic girdle. Interventions may include these modalities: manual therapy, biofeedback, dilator and wand therapy, electric stimulation, TENS, vagal nerve stimulation, and balloon sensory retraining. Pelvic PT addresses symptoms of urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic floor weakness, pudendal neuralgia, pre- and post-prostatectomy, pre- and post-natal, digestive and defecatory dysfunction, sexual dysfunction and pelvic pain, and gender reassignment rehabilitation.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is neuro-muscular reeducation to improve body-mind awareness of the pelvic floor muscle, to retrain relaxation, lengthening, strengthening, coordination and agility. All of these contribute to improved control of the pelvic floor muscle, including bladder, bowel and sexual function and reducing pelvic pain. Home biofeedback units are available with external or internal sensors and video apps to facilitate learning and body awareness of the pelvic floor muscle in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Biofeedback is one of the best supported evidence-based research of PHPT.
