Evidence-based physical therapy for the pelvic floor

This unique book bridges the gap between evidence-based research and clinical practice in physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction. A cast of highly experienced specialists is headed up by an internationally renowned editorial team of pioneering researchers and teachers. Each treatment chapter starts with a focus on evidence from basic studies (theories or rationales for the treatment) and RCTs (appraisal of effectiveness); this is then comprehensively linked to the implications for clinical practice and followed up with recommendations on how to start, continue and progress treatment. This text is essential for all forward-thinking clinicians specializing in the pelvic floor and looking for innovative practice guidelines backed with a sound evidence base.
