Biofeedback
Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback is a technique used to help a subject better understand and recognize their own muscle tension in real-time. Biofeedback is valuable because it allows a subject to gain more control over the activation or relaxation of their muscles. With the use of auditory or visual cues, a subject can learn whether or not they’re properly using their muscles and can then be trained how to make corrections.
EMG biofeedback is also commonly used for pelvic floor therapy and can help patients understand how to strengthen or relax their pelvic floor muscles in order to improve bowel or bladder function.
