Biofeedback therapy uses special devices that measure physical signals and report them back directly.
Typical processes:
The principle behind it is simple but effective:
What becomes visible can also be consciously controlled.

One particularly important area of application is the treatment of incontinence. Millions of people are affected – the cause is often weakened pelvic floor muscles.
The pelvic floor muscles perform central tasks:
As these muscles usually work unconsciously, targeted training is difficult for many people.
Biofeedback makes the activity of the pelvic floor muscles visible. Sensors or probes are used to measure whether the correct muscles are being tensed.
This makes it possible:
With regular training, the success rate is around 70-80%.
An additional advantage: the visible progress increases motivation considerably.
A central procedure in biofeedback is the EMG (electromyogram). It measures the electrical activity of the muscles.
EMG provides valuable findings, particularly in rehabilitation or sports medicine.
The Nu-Tek Levator Elite is a modern EMG biofeedback device that is used specifically for incontinence therapy and pelvic floor training and offers various training modes for effective results. For more information about the device and its functions, click on the product and go to the details page.
Biofeedback is also used successfully for chronic pain and stress.

Cranio-mandibular dysfunction (CMD) is one of the most common causes of pain in the jaw, face and neck area. Many sufferers experience tension in the masticatory muscles, limited mobility of the jaw or recurring pain when chewing and speaking.
With the first warm days of spring, many people feel the urge to exercise. Walks, bike rides or gardening – after the quiet winter months, the body is more actively challenged again. However, especially when muscles and joints have been under less strain for a long time, tension, sore muscles or complaints in the musculoskeletal system can occur. This is where electrotherapy can provide useful support.
A stroke often changes life from one moment to the next. In addition to speech or memory problems, weakness in lifting the foot (medical term: peroneal nerve palsy) is one of the most common motor impairments. Those affected cannot lift the forefoot sufficiently – the gait becomes unsteady and the risk of falling increases significantly.
But what treatment options are there? And when is functional electrical stimulation (FES) a sensible solution?
February is often the coldest and toughest month of the year. The days are short, it’s frosty outside and many of us feel the winter doldrums. It’s worth paying conscious attention to your body and mind right now – small routines can have a big impact.
