Biofeedback Exercise Therapy

Checking your muscle balance and deep muscle activation helps identify the right direction for rehabilitation exercise.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) displays your muscles' electrical signals on a screen in real time. It helps wake up underused muscles and calm down overused ones as part of recovery.

Who This Can Help

A specific muscle isn't engaging well after surgery or pain

Avoiding a painful area has led to poor movement habits

Recovery is slow during rehab for the back, knee, or shoulder

You want to return safely to exercise or daily activities

You want to confirm whether the exercises you're doing on your own are correct

See how muscles you couldn't previously observe are engaging, and recover with that feedback.

How It Works

01
Attaching Sensors and Establishing a Baseline
No pain involved
Surface sensors are attached to the target muscle to record signal ranges at rest and under effort.
02
Adjusting While Watching the Screen
10-20 minutes per session
As you engage the muscle, the graph on screen changes, letting you check and practice correct activation right away.
03
Gradually Increasing Difficulty
As control improves, movement and load are increased to carry over into real-life and exercise activities.

What We Check

Muscle Use

We check whether the muscles that need to be engaged are activating properly.

Compensatory Movement

We identify habits of overusing other muscles to avoid a painful area.

Return-to-Activity Movements

We connect the exercise to the movements you need for daily life and sport.

Frequently Asked Questions

QDoes it send electricity through me? Does it hurt?

No electrical current is applied. The device only reads the tiny signals your muscles naturally produce, so it's painless and safe.

QDoes it work after just one session?

Rather than a single session, repeated training is what matters. Muscle control and strength typically improve over several weeks.

QHow is this different from regular physical therapy?

The key difference is that you exercise while visually confirming your muscle activity. This is especially helpful for catching subtle changes in muscle strength early in recovery.

Do not put off persistent pain. Have it checked.
