ABSTRACT

Different pelvic floor therapy strategies have been adopted by physicians, urologists, gynecologists, and physiotherapists. However, the concept of pelvic floor physiotherapy is not yet clear for the majority of professionals, who continue to suggest activities that can actually be more harmful to the patient than beneficial. Consequently, the aim of this review article was to present the concept of pelvic floor physiotherapy, from its origins to its current principles, so that healthcare professionals can apply the therapy to their patients based on a clear understanding of the approach.
