PHYSIOTHERAPY IN TEARS PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES

Abstract

 The musculature of the pelvic floor acts in a constant dynamic way and it works as an autoregulator springboard which goes adapting its tension continually and reacting to the changing circumstances of the daily life. It also acts to avoid the displacement of the pelvic organs, to conserve the continence, to control the expulsion activities and to assure the quality of the sexual relationships. In the childbirth and overalls when a muscular laceration takes place, most of these qualities disappear, taking to the patients to a cycle of alterations that rebounds at physical, psychic, social, sexual, emotional and labor level. In the restoration of these functions, Physiotherapy intervenes that with its knowledge on the muscular, skeletal and neuroanatomy, as well as a perfect knowledge of the biomechanics of the pelvic floor, tries to reestablish those altered functions in a childbirth with laceration of the musculature, improving, in this way, the quality of many women's life that otherwise would be destinated to an emotional and psychological imbalance during all its life. Physiotherapy doesn't only act restoring these malfunctions, but it also has a preventive paper to avoid that this takes place.
