It is a special type of conditioning – training modality, based on the learning theory. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.
Your health care provider may recommend biofeedback evaluation and treatment for the muscles of your pelvic floor. These muscles are responsible for bladder and bowel control. Anyone interested in learning how to relax tense muscles, strengthen weak ones, or to control and coordinate use of muscles may benefit from biofeedback. However, it is only a tool to help you locate muscle groups and does not provide any additions benefits. Exercise is the key to building muscle strength.
