Biofeedback in Arlington Heights

Real-Time Insight. Lasting Results.

Pelvic floor dysfunction can be difficult to manage when you’re not fully aware of how those muscles are functioning. At Northwest Wellness Group, we use biofeedback technology to give you real-time information about your pelvic floor muscle activity—so you can learn how to strengthen, coordinate, and relax those muscles effectively.

Whether you’re dealing with incontinence, pelvic pain, or muscle dysfunction, biofeedback is a powerful tool that improves outcomes and accelerates progress.

What Is Biofeedback?

Biofeedback is a non-invasive therapeutic tool that uses sensors to measure muscle activity and provides visual or auditory feedback to help you gain control over your pelvic floor muscles. In pelvic floor therapy, biofeedback helps you:

• Identify whether muscles are overactive, underactive, or poorly coordinated
• Learn how to contract and relax the pelvic floor properly
• Track improvements in muscle strength and endurance
• Reinforce techniques for long-term muscle control

It takes the guesswork out of pelvic floor rehabilitation by showing you how your body is responding in real time.

Conditions Treated with Biofeedback

Biofeedback is often used as part of a comprehensive pelvic floor therapy program for:

• Urinary incontinence (stress, urge, or mixed)
• Fecal incontinence
• Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction
• Overactive bladder
• Constipation and incomplete voiding
• Pelvic pain due to muscle tension or spasm
• Postpartum recovery
• Pelvic organ prolapse support training

Both men and women benefit from biofeedback as part of their personalized treatment plan.

What to Expect at Northwest Wellness Group

During a biofeedback session at our Arlington Heights clinic, you will work one-on-one with a licensed pelvic floor therapist in a private, respectful setting. We use surface sensors (placed externally or via vaginal/rectal sensors when appropriate and with your consent) to assess pelvic floor muscle function.

You’ll receive:

• A thorough evaluation of muscle activity
• Guided training to contract, relax, and coordinate pelvic floor muscles
• Visual or auditory cues displayed on a screen
• Progress tracking over time to measure improvement
• Feedback-integrated exercises to practice at home

Our goal is to help you understand your body better and empower you with clear, measurable tools for recovery.

Why Biofeedback Works

Many people with pelvic floor dysfunction cannot feel or isolate these muscles correctly, especially when tightness or weakness is involved. Biofeedback helps by:

• Making invisible muscle activity visible
• Teaching precise control and coordination
• Helping patients break compensation or guarding patterns
• Increasing engagement and accountability during therapy
• Supporting long-term improvements in muscle function

When combined with education, therapeutic exercise, and manual therapy, biofeedback becomes a key driver of lasting results.
