According to the Dept of Health & Ageing around 1 in 20 Australians have poor bowel control. Also known as faecal incontinence, people with this condition often feel isolated and ashamed and tend not to seek help for fear of embarrassment.

Help is at hand for people with bowel problems, and a cure could be as simple as sitting fully clothed in a Wave Brilliance Pelvic Floor chair for a course of treatment.

Compare this non-invasive and safe treatment with the traditional methods and we think you’ll agree Wave Brilliance Pelvic Floor muscle rehabilitation should be your first line of therapy.

The Wave Brilliance approach:

• Initial assessment and correction of any pre-disposing factors, followed by:
• Treatment twice weekly lasting 22 minutes for 6 to 8 weeks, or as appropriate.

Outdated traditional approaches:

The Continence Foundation of Australia publish a list of mostly ineffectual interventions raging from medications (drugs) through to surgery. Admittedly, pelvic floor muscle training is mentioned, but most patients will tell you they are difficult to perform correctly and patients tend not to comply.

CFA recommended care includes:

• checking the medicines and tablets you take;
• taking a new medicine to firm up your motions or to settle your bowels;
• getting constipation under control if this is a cause;
• pelvic floor muscle training to help make your pelvic floor muscles stronger;
• the muscles around the back passage are part of the pelvic floor muscles;
• treatment by a physiotherapist or a continence nurse who knows about pelvic floor muscle problems; this could also involve using equipment to get the pelvic floor muscles working;
• visiting a surgeon or other specialist doctor, if your doctor refers you.

The CFA’s approach to urinary & faecal incontinence has always been based on management rather than a cure, and despite the fact that electromagnetic stimulation has been used as a curative approach by Specialists and GP’s since 2001, they refrain from acknowledging the existence of this therapy in any of their literature.
