Pelvic Floor Muscle Assessment

Post by Guest-Makaveli »

I will have my first PFM Assessment on Tuesday.

Anything in particular I should be aware of?
Anything I can have her check in particular?


P.S. Mark, that PASSWORD, does not work with the Makaveli Login.

Thanks

Try again now :smile:

Just relax and leave it to her. She does this all the time.
Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

Well it sounds like maybe (?) Mark knows & trusts your PT - in that case I'd relax entirely.

Otherwise, a few frank but diplomatic questions will help you determine how much experience they have with pelvic pain and how much they know about PFD, pelvic pain, stanford, etc. As you may know, it is Wise's opinion that trigger pts are easy to miss.

One thing you should know: abnormal intrarectal EMG alone is sufficient but not necessary to demonstrate PFD (source on that is Wise).
