Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a form of behavioural training and combined with pelvic floor physiotherapy and is often used for patients with faecal incontinence, severe constipation or the weak pelvic floor.

Ano-rectal physiology testing is often first required to determine the underlying problem which then directs the type of program of exercises required. These exercises are taught by a specialist nurse or pelvic floor physiotherapist, whilst simultaneously measure various aspects of ano-rectal physiology to provide immediate feedback on how successfully the particular exercise is being performed. Frequently, more than one session is required to get the desired improvement.
