Pelvic floor in Madrid
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialty that aims to treat urogynecological dysfunctions/problems. But first, we should understand its functions: containment/support of the viscera (bladder, uterus, urethra, rectum, vagina), ensuring the evacuation and continence of urine, gas, and feces, reproductive function (pregnancy and childbirth), and sexual function. This discipline allows us to analyze the specific condition of the muscles that comprise the patient's pelvic floor and thus determine the best treatment for each case.
The goal of pelvic floor rehabilitation is to restore organ function by increasing muscle strength and reducing risk factors through therapeutic education and manual and instrumental treatment techniques.
