Effect of Hypopressive Gymnastics Associated or Not With Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in Women With Urinary Incontinence

The hypopressive exercise is performed mainly via transversus abdominis (Tra) activation. The exercise relaxes the diaphragm, decreases intra-abdominal pressure and may activate the abdominal and PFM simultaneously.

Pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC) is performed through a sequence of contraction and relax the PFM. It will improve PFM strength and is effective for treating urinary incontinence.
