Abstract

The rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles has been postulated by many authors as a firstline therapy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. It has advantages, such as being a noninvasive, lowcost therapy without side effects. However, factors such as adherence, motivation, therapy understanding and intrinsic sphincter deficiency can interfere with the results of this therapeutic approach. A literature review was carried out to understand the impact of aforementioned factors and investigate the effect of each one of them on the physical therapy intervention.
