Course: #4333Level: Introductory 2 Hours 844 Reviews
Recorded Webinar

Because the pelvic floor muscles are "hidden from view" inside the pelvis, sEMG biofeedback treatment is an effective and evidence-based treatment option for addressing certain pelvic floor muscle impairments. This introductory course will explore how sEMG biofeedback is used in the physical therapist treatment of pelvic floor disorders and its efficacy in improving patient outcomes. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
