Guided
Biofeedback
Helps Physical Therapists at The Renew Center Improve Results
 Urinary
incontinence among men and women can have a serious impact on a
person’s quality of life, making them socially reclusive,
contributing to depression and other health problems. Statistics
show that upwards of 50% of all women and many men who have undergone
prostadectomy surgery will suffer from some form of leaking. At
the Renew Physical Therapy Center, we use biofeedback technology
to enhance continence, and to help patients who suffer from pelvic
pain conditions such as vulvodynia, vestibulitis, dyspareunia,endometriosis,
and vaginismus. Biofeedback helps to isolate hard to visualize muscles
such as those found in the pelvic floor, and also helps motivate
the patient by visually displaying muscle activity and progress.
To maximum results for our patients,
our therapists use this technology at the same time the patients
are performing Renew
PT’s custom exercise protocols. “We get immediate feedback
and can track results from session to session,” says Solange
Leitner, Senior PT. “When used appropriately, this amazing
technology is helping our patients get quicker results, returning
them to their lives with less pain and renewed hope,” adds
Leitner. As part of a comprehensive treatment program, which can
also include Arvigo Mayan Abdominal Massage and manual therapy,
biofeedback plays a key role.
