BIOFEEDBACK
Biofeedback is used for the treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, and pelvic pain. Thus we can easily see and chart how the pelvic floor muscles contract, relax and whether they are weak or strong. Biofeedback enables efficient rehabilitation and retraining of these muscles. Treatment is often a fun and enlightening experience. This unique form of training affords great insight into each patient's ability to relax and to build muscle endurance and strength.
Up to 60% of all women over sixty years of age suffer from urinary incontinence. It is vastly important to seek the treatment that the National Association for Continence reports is 80% effective.
Example: Patients can present with stress incontinence-loss of urine with jumping, laughing, sneezing, or coughing. Stress incontinence results from a weakness of the pelvic floor muscles. With biofeedback training and a home exercise program, these muscles are strengthened and continence is restored.
