Is biofeedback really worth your time?

Biofeedback has been a staple in pelvic therapy for years, but is it actually helping patients—or is it just another outdated tool that doesn’t deliver results?

This is a replay of one of our most thought-provoking episodes! While I’m out on maternity leave, we’re bringing back some of the best conversations we’ve had over 500+ episodes.

In this episode, Nicole shares her biggest frustrations with biofeedback, including:
🚫 It focuses entirely on the pelvic floor and ignores the full-body system.
🚫 It’s all about “strengthening”—but we know the pelvic floor is more than that.
🚫 It rarely works properly (you’ve probably struggled with faulty readings too!).
🚫 It’s internally inconsistent—the same person can get wildly different results.
🚫 It isn’t functional—training isolated contractions doesn’t translate into real-life movement.

We also break down the best arguments for and against biofeedback, looking at both sides of the debate.

So what do you think—does biofeedback have a place in pelvic health? Or is it time to move on? Let’s dive in!
