Physiotherapy -Biofeedback The physiotherapist is asked to see her and to provide her pelvic floor training physiotherapy. She also did a physical examination and did a perineal palpation; she noticed a moderate awareness of pelvic floor muscles. This was a reason to start her pelvic floor therapy. The physiotherapist started with pelvic floor awareness and control exercises. Instructions were given for the pelvic floor musculature with emphasis on relaxation and combined with correct relaxation on the toilet, so that urine comes easier and Jennifer empties properly. This was initially practiced in a lying and sitting position (including ultrasound control and digital palpation) and was quickly picked up. This pelvic floor awareness and control were enhanced by uroflow pattern and non-invasive abdominal or perineal EMG as biofeedback, as described in see case 3.
