Book Part Citation Count: 1Connective Tissue Manipulation(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Sönmezer, Emel; Dökmeci,F.; Seval,M.M.; Çetinkaya,Ş.E.Connective tissue massage is based on the principle of direct manipulation of the subcutaneous fascia layers creating a response in the autonomic nervous system. There is a neural link between deep tissues and superficial tissues known as “cutaneo-visceral reflexes, " involving autonomic pathways and rich somatic sensory plexuses in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It has been shown that there is tension in the skin and subcutaneous tissues innervated from the same level of the medulla spinalis with the organ with impaired function. These affected dermatomes are stimulated with a strong pulling motion made in a special sequence in accordance with anatomical structure. Thus, a reflex effect is created in the relevant organ innervated from the same segment as the dermatome. The most important feature that distinguishes CTM from other manual treatment methods is that it has a therapeutic effect by playing a balancing role in the autonomic nervous system. Although its efficacy in pathological problems, such as migraine, constipation, dysmenorrhea, peripheral artery disease, and painful conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic neck pain, have been demonstrated in different studies in the literature, there have been no studies showing the effectiveness of CTM in patients with OAB. © MIPS MediterraneanIncontinence Pelvic Floor Society 2022.Book Part Citation Count: 0Physiotherapy in Women for Pelvic Floor and Sexual Dysfunction(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Sönmezer, Emel; Seval,M.M.; Çetinkaya,Ş.E.; Dökmeci,F.Physiotherapy provides the restoration of physical function and an increase in quality of life. It also allows daily life activities to be performed painlessly and independently. The aim of physiotherapy is to restore the patient’s functional efficiency as quickly as possible by improving movement functions. Physiotherapy methods are used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles in the treatment of women with pelvic floor and sexual dysfunction. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is an evidence-based, first-line treatment for many pelvic floor problems, including incontinence, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. Studies have shown that pelvic floor physiotherapy programs can not only alleviate pelvic floor dysfunctions but also improve sexual function. However, other physiotherapy methods used to improve general health also increase well-being and quality of life, thus improving function reducing disability and sexual dysfunction. © MIPS MediterraneanIncontinence Pelvic Floor Society 2022.
