JOGO the latest addition to our range of treatment options for patients dealing with pelvic health issues like Urinary incontinence, voiding dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction.
Jogo is a form of biofeedback-induced physiotherapy, a groundbreaking approach that proves highly effective in addressing concerns such as incontinence, voiding dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction.
When it comes to issues like incontinence or difficulty in emptying the bladder, it's often related to neural pathways. Identifying and exercising the pelvic floor muscles can be challenging for patients due to the muscle's location and function. Traditional physiotherapy methods may be hard for patients to adhere to.
With Jogo, our physiotherapists assess pelvic floor dysfunction and tailor a treatment protocol based on individual needs. Instead of invasive methods like vaginal cones, Jogo utilizes surface electrodes to send out signals known as EMG (electromyogram). This non-invasive approach helps patients understand which muscles they're activating and at what strength, providing real-time feedback to reinforce the connection between the brain and the muscles.
Jogo operates on the principle of neuroplasticity, forming and reinforcing new neural pathways. This innovative technique effectively targets specific muscles and nerve pathways, ensuring better control over urination, preventing leaks, and promoting proper bladder emptying.
Dr Rubina often recommend Jogo to patients facing complex issues, especially in cases of voiding dysfunction, early-stage incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. Over time, we've observed positive outcomes when patients commit to the recommended 8 to 12 weeks of therapy – the time required to establish and strengthen neural pathways.
