Pelvic floor manual therapy group
Pelvic floor electrolysis group
Pelvic floor manual therapy is a clinical approach utilizing specifics hands-on mobilizing techniques to treat soft tissues. The technique require mobilization of soft-tissue by myofascial stretching maneuvers intended to improve bio-mechanical elasticity. The therapeutic protocol will be applied for 4 weeks.
Pelvic floor electrolysis technique consists in an ultrasound-guided application of a galvanic electrolytic current that causes a controlled local inflammatory process in the target tissue. This allows for phagocytosis and the subsequent regeneration of the affected tissue. The therapeutic protocol will be applied for 4 weeks.
