EVIDENCE SUPPORTING PELVIC HEALTH PHYSIOTHERAPY? Physiotherapists who are trained in pelvic floor therapy should be the first line of treatment for stress and mixed urinary incontinence in women, before surgical interventions (Cochrane Collaboration 2014). Pelvic floor muscle training is effective and cost-effective in reducing prolapse symptoms and should be recommended as first line treatment for prolapse (Hagen 2011). Canadian Physiotherapy Association & The Society of Gynecologists of Canada recommend: Pelvic floor muscle training with a physiotherapist is recommended to prevent urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after delivery. Core stability training with a physiotherapist is recommended to prevent/treat back and pelvic pain during and following pregnancy .
