Pelvic Muscle Dysfunction Biofeedback Certification
BCIA PMDB Equipment Policy:
The Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA) requires that all providers use an EMG biofeedback system with at least 2 channels to monitor primary and secondary muscles, and software that allows for manipulation of display types, range, EMG scale, and thresholds. This allows for effective visualization of muscle function, endurance, coordination, and isolation and creates the opportunity for effective discrimination of these muscles to provide quality care for the clients served.
Clinical Entry Level Certification (ELC) is designed for the licensed professional from a health care field such as medicine, nursing, physician’s assistant, or occupational and physical therapy and who has less than 5 years of experience using biofeedback clinically to treat elimination disorders and chronic pelvic pain syndromes.
Certification by Prior Experience
Certification By Prior Experience (CPE) is designed for the licensed professional from a health care field such as medicine, nursing, physician’s assistant, or occupational and physical therapy who can document extensive education, training, and at least 5 years of clinical experience using biofeedback clinically to treat elimination disorders and chronic pelvic pain syndromes.
