Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT)
Participants in the control group will receive an individualized home-based pelvic floor muscle exercise program. Exercises will be performed once daily for 8 weeks, focusing on voluntary pelvic floor contractions in various positions (supine, sitting, standing). Participants will receive initial training and written instructions from a physiotherapist, and will be contacted weekly to monitor adherence.
Hypopressive Exercises
Participants in the experimental group will attend supervised hypopressive exercise sessions twice per week for 8 weeks. These sessions involve specific postural sequences combined with breathing and apnea techniques aimed at reducing intra-abdominal pressure while activating pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. Sessions will be led by a physiotherapist and adapted based on individual performance and posture tolerance.
