Abstract
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.
