Pelvic Floor Therapy / Biofeedback
Specialist pelvic floor physiotherapy and biofeedback retraining - the primary evidence-based treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction, obstructive defecation, and faecal incontinence. 60-80% improvement without surgery at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad.
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy / Biofeedback?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy and biofeedback is a specialist-supervised programme of exercises and real-time feedback training aimed at retraining the pelvic floor muscles. In obstructive defecation syndrome (ODS), it teaches the puborectalis to relax correctly during defecation. In faecal incontinence, it strengthens the sphincter and improves voluntary contraction.
Dr. Samhitha Reddy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad prioritises biofeedback as the first-line treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction, ODS, and mild-to-moderate faecal incontinence - achieving 60-80% significant improvement without any surgical intervention. As the best hospital for pelvic floor disorders in Hyderabad, the programme uses surface EMG or manometry sensors to provide real-time visual feedback during training sessions.
Biofeedback requires patient engagement and commitment to regular sessions (typically 6-8 sessions over 8-12 weeks). Combining biofeedback with dietary modification, adequate hydration, and regular physical activity maximises outcomes.
How the Procedure Works
Anorectal Manometry Assessment
Pre-treatment anorectal manometry and balloon expulsion test establish baseline sphincter pressures, pelvic floor coordination, and confirm whether dysfunction is present.
Physiotherapy Assessment
A specialist pelvic floor physiotherapist assesses muscle strength, coordination, and endurance - designing a personalised training programme.
Biofeedback Training Sessions
A sensor provides real-time EMG or pressure readings. The patient performs squeezing and relaxing exercises, watching the feedback screen to correct technique.
Relaxation Training (ODS)
For ODS patients, training focuses on paradox relaxation - learning to relax the puborectalis correctly during defecation. Simulated defecation exercises with a balloon reinforce the technique.
Home Exercise Programme
A personalised home programme is provided. Sessions are typically weekly for 6-8 weeks, then monthly maintenance. Dr. Samhitha reviews progress at structured intervals.
