PELVIC FLOOR REHAB & EMG Biofeedback

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is a specialized form of therapy aimed at improving the strength, function, and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum, and play a crucial role in maintaining continence and sexual health. Pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to conditions such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and chronic pelvic pain.

Key Components of Pelvic Floor Rehab

Assessment and Diagnosis: A thorough evaluation by a team of healthcare professionals to determine the extent of pelvic floor dysfunction and the patient's specific needs.
Personalized Treatment Plan: A tailored rehabilitation program designed to address the individual's unique challenges and goals.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT): Exercises to strengthen and improve the coordination of the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises, often known as Kegel exercises, involve voluntary contractions and relaxations of the pelvic floor muscles.
Manual Therapy: Techniques such as massage and myofascial release to relieve muscle tension and improve muscle function.
Postural Exercises: Exercises to improve posture and alignment, which can help reduce strain on the pelvic floor muscles.
Relaxation Techniques and Diaphragmatic Breathing: Techniques to help relax the pelvic floor muscles and improve breathing patterns.

EMG Biofeedback in Pelvic Floor Rehab

Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback is a non-invasive technique that provides real-time feedback on muscle activity. It involves the use of sensors placed on the skin over the pelvic floor muscles to measure muscle activity and display it visually on a computer screen. This feedback helps patients learn how to properly contract and relax their pelvic floor muscles, improving muscle control and function.

Benefits of Pelvic Floor Rehab & EMG Biofeedback

Improved Muscle Control: Enhanced ability to contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles.
Reduced Symptoms: Alleviation of symptoms such as urinary and fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse.
Increased Awareness: Greater awareness of pelvic floor muscle function, leading to better exercise performance and adherence.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Improved overall well-being and satisfaction with life.
