Urogynecological rehabilitation is a therapy focused on improving the deteriorated function of the pelvic floor muscles, which determine the proper functioning of the pelvic organs. It uses non-invasive and individualized methods and techniques that aim to treat and prevent various changes in the pelvic floor, such as urinary incontinence, genital prolapse, sexual dysfunctions, and proctological disorders such as constipation, fecal or gas incontinence.
The main assumptions of the therapy include:
- Increasing awareness of one's own body by re-education of posture, and breathing and eliminating aggravating movement habits
- Learning how to optimally contract the pelvic floor muscles
- Incorporating the pelvic floor muscles in the stabilization necessary for everyday - improvement of endurance, strength, and synergy of phasic and tonic muscles
Manual techniques are also used to make the pelvic floor structures more flexible, to improve the blood supply, and to correct patterns and habits are consolidated to prevent the reappearance of disorders of the pelvic floor muscles.
