The effectiveness of pelvic floor physical therapy for gynecological related symptoms
Work Type

Abstract
The aim of this project was to research which pelvic floor disorders have significant improvement with PFPT. The research question for this topic was: does PFPT have significant benefits for dyspareunia, sexual dysfunction, pelvic pain disorders, urinary incontinence in non-pregnant women, urinary incontinence in pregnant and postpartum women, and tearing during childbirth.
For my project I created a flyer with information on what conditions PFPT treats according to my research, and I included locations of pelvic floor physical therapists in the Des Moines area. Additionally, I included a QR code to a website I made that further explains PFPT and different pelvic floor disorders. My goal for this was to educate patients and providers alike, and for women to seek care for pelvic floor disorders they had normalized in their daily life.
