Descripción: La terapia de piso pélvico es parte fundamental del proceso de rehabilitación de pacientes. Según el Colegio Americano de Médicos, técnicas como los ejercicios de Kegel, hacen parte de la rehabilitación del piso pélvico y son usadas en el manejo no farmacológico de la incontinencia urinaria femenina. en pacientes con múltiples condiciones clínicas que afectan la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Se pretende revisar la importancia de la terapia de los músculos del piso pélvico en la incontinencia urinaria, la gestación y el dolor pélvico crónico, así como enfocarse en el concepto mismo de la terapia.
Relevancia: La terapia de los músculos del piso pélvico es una herramienta de bajo costo, con indicación en guías internacionales y que no reporta hasta la fecha, grandes efectos deletéreos para las personas que la practican como tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria. Es de vital importancia, no solo hacer énfasis en la musculatura pélvica, sino que es necesario trabajar músculos del centro del cuerpo, donde se incluye la musculatura abdominal y espalda baja, para obtener mejores resultados para las personas en este tipo de tratamiento.
Conclusiones: Esta revisión permite brindar conceptos claros y perspectivas al alcance del personal médico y fisioterapeutas en general.
