Treatment:
Melanie Massey Physical Therapy offers a specialized avenue
for treatment called EMG or Biofeedback. A small probe is
inserted into the vagina (women) and/or rectum for (men and women)
to get a reading of strength and quality of contraction in the
pelvic floor muscles. We also use manual therapy,
therapeutic exercises, and neuromuscular stimulation.
Each patient will receive education on diet, behavior trainging,
and exercises. Patients are expected to perform these exercises
in between treatment sessions to aid in progression.
