As if a good product couldn’t get any better, HeartMath has released the new and improved emWave 2.  This unit is the replacement for the older emWave PSR hand held stress reliever. This new unit incorporates HeartMath’s scientifically proven coherence theory with the functionality of a computer. Previous hand held models were conveniently portable but lacked the functionality of desktop units. In order to have the training levels and data recording capabilities combined with portability, it was necessary to purchase both the emWave PSR and the emWave desktop software. Even with both products, your session information was not able to be combined. You had to use one machine or the other. Not so with the emWave 2. This unit ...

Often women experiencing urinary incontinence are advised to perform pelvic floor exercises. For many, the thought of heading to the clinic to perform Kegels with the aid of a biofeedback machine can be overwhelming. Fortunately there is now a hand-held device which can use anal or vaginal sensors to teach both women and men how to correctly perform pelvic floor exercises. The Peritron Perionometer is simple enough for the average person to use and records readings sensitive enough to be used in a clinical trial. The Peritron measures the strength of a contraction by measuring the change of air pressure in the sensor. This measurement is transferred via a flexible tube to the screen display. During a ...

It is unfortunate that many women will experience some level of urinary incontinence during their lifetime. For some it will be the result of pregnancy and child birth. For others it will slowly develop as they age. For a small minority, it will be the result of injury or surgery. Why do women suffer with this condition? Doctors, and the medical community at large, do not create a safe environment for women to discuss this embarrassing problem. In fact, they often offer solutions that seem worse than leaking urine on occasion. Does a hysterectomy or bladder sling really have to be the first line of treatment for incontinence? These procedures are painful and cause lasting damage to your body. ...

Urinary incontinence can be experienced by anyone at any age.  It is often thought to be a natural part of the aging process.  It is estimated that up to 50% of all nursing home patients suffer from some level of incontinence. While this large group of people suffer in silence, a treatment that has been shown to be 99% effective in treating and curing most types of incontinence is available. How can it be that a treatment so effective is not universally utilized in the treatment of urinary incontinence? The first reason is that the treatment involves the use of a U-Control EMG machine.  This biofeedback unit measures the strength of a ...

You may have heard about a health treatment called Biofeedback. You may also have heard that this treatment is non-invasive and completely natural.  But what exactly is biofeedback?  Biofeedback is a technique that trains people to use signals from their bodies to improve their health. Biological signals range from skin temperature and galvanic skin response to sophisticated muscle and brain wave patterns. Using machines to measure changes in these biological signals gives you an idea of how your body is reacting and how your actions are affecting your body. By monitoring these signals, you can learn how to create changes that are beneficial to both body and mind In a clinical setting both electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) have ...

Did you know that your emotional state really does show in your heart? Research by the Heartmath group has shown that emotions can actually be reflected in your heart rhythm patterns. The study of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, is now recognized as a non-invasive measurement that reflects heart-brain connectivity and autonomic nervous system dynamics. These systems are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in your emotional state. The question is how to harness this knowledge and turn it into an actual life strategy. Incredibly, Heartmath has done this with the release of their new program emWave Desktop.  This is a computer program that works on both Mac and PC platforms, that alone is pretty amazing.  The software gives you a ...

Kegels are important for strengthening your pelvic floor.  When these muscles are weak, you may experience urinary incontinence, decrease of sexual sensation and in severe cases, even a prolapsed bladder or uterus.  ...

There are many treatments for incontinence, some surgical and some pharmacological.     Biofeedback has also become very popular for both muscle strengthening and relaxation.  Recent studies have shown that 85% of women who used EMG biofeedback training to treat their incontinence reported themselves to be cured or much improved.  The best part of biofeedback therapy is the lack of side effects.  Biofeedback treatments are completely natural and the results rival the best medical treatments. EMG biofeedback therapy helps women to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles by visual and auditory feedback.  This method is especially helpful for women who have nerve damage from surgery or childbirth.  But this therapy is also appropriate for men who may have weakened muscles from ...
