ABSTRACT

Description: Pelvic floor therapy is a fundamental part of the rehabilitation process for patients. According to the American College of Physicians, techniques such as Kegel exercises are part of the rehabilitation of the pelvic floor, these are used in the non-pharmacological management of female urinary incontinence. in patients with multiple clinical conditions that affect the quality of life of patients. In this article, it is intended to review the importance of pelvic floor muscle therapy in urinary incontinence, pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain, as well as to focus on the concept of therapy itself.
Relevance: Pelvic floor muscle therapy is a low-cost tool, indicated in international guidelines and which, to date, has not reported large deleterious effects for people who practice it as a treatment for urinary incontinence. It is vitally important not only to emphasize the pelvic muscles, as stated in the text, since working the muscles in the center of the body, which includes the abdominal and lower back muscles, provide better results for people in this type of exercise. treatment.
Conclusions: This review allows providing clear concepts and perspectives within the reach of medical personnel and physiotherapists in general.
