Classical Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
Functional Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
In the first 2 weeks of classical pelvic floor muscle training, individuals will perform 3 sets of 10 maximal voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises and 20 submaximal voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises per day. In every 2-week control, the number of sets will be increased by one set.
Functional pelvic floor muscle training will be started with 3 exercises (toe tap, bridge and clamshall exercises), each exercise will be performed with 1 set and 30 repetitions. In every 2-week control, the number of exercises will be increased by one. Cat-cow exercise will be added at 3-4th weeks, squats will be added at 5-6th weeks, and lunges will be added at 7-8th weeks.
