What to expect:
Did you ever feel confused by the EMG tracing or wonder why the EMG training does not match your manual assessment? The most common reason for both is lack of therapist training. You are not alone, many pelvic therapists do not have the education, skill and knowledge to get the most out of EMG assessment and treatment. However, EMG is the only assessment that can document overactive PFM and can be instrumental in patient learning.
This course will provide pelvic therapists with comprehensive knowledge on EMG biofeedback assessment and treatment for a variety of pelvic floor muscle conditions. Course content includes the most recent research and integrates the new International Continence Society (ICS) pelvic floor muscle (PFM) assessment terminology.
Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of PFM anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Join us, learn more and get the most out of your EMG assessment and treatment.

What people are saying:
Great course with detailed information on how to assess and use this tool to its fullest potential. I often rely on biofeedback as an adjunct to my treatment with many other types of intervention. This tool has been my number one reason for patient 'buy in' on the first or second visit. I appreciate all the knowledge provided! Thank you.
I am Board Certified in Biofeedback for Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction and have used Biofeedback in my practice fro over 30 years. I did not think I would learn much from this course. While the information on technical aspects of biofeedback was review for me, I learned a lot from this course about the evidence behind Biofeedback, how useful it can be in patient education, and in applications for different pelvic floor conditions. I highly recommend it. Melissa Peterson, PT, WCS, BCB-PMD
I appreciate having a course dedicated to utilizing EMG biofeedback as a tool for assessment and training allowing for more efficient use in the clinic.

What people are saying:
This lecture was very helpful for feeling more confident and trusting the information I receive during the examination
This course is great for those who are new to biofeedback and for practitioners experience with biofeedback. Beth presents both great evidence and practical tips as well as providing a wealth of resources for your practice.
This course gave me so many more ideas about how to use EMG with patients to make it an even more effective treatment. Thank you!
