Summary

Pregnancy and vaginal delivery are considered as the main risk factors for damage to the pelvic floor. There are various ways to measure the strength of the pelvic floor and to evaluate functional problems. Manual mobilization of the pelvic floor is a well-known treatment modality, however, ample knowledge exists on the efficacy of physiotherapy and exercise for improvement of pelvic floor function and strength.
