Biofeedback and the Pertinence of its Use in Pelvic Health by CLAUDIA BROWN, PT, BS | PART 2
INTRODUCTION
Biofeedback is a valuable element in the toolkit of the physiotherapist working in pelvic health. As the pelvic floor muscles are relatively hidden from the patient’s view, muscle identification can be challenging, impeding the training for contraction and relaxation. Biofeedback can greatly assist in muscle identification, and, used in conjunction with other elements in the therapist’s toolkit, can complete the approach to a variety of disorders related to the pelvic floor.
This two-part online seminar will describe the nature of biofeedback and the pertinence of its use in pelvic health. Aspects related to evaluation, education, training and exercise prescription will be covered, as well as technical aspects related to the application of this modality within a treatment session. Case histories will be used to illustrate the concepts.
