Telerehabilitation Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (TR-PFMT) Group
The program will be delivered online in small groups by a physiotherapist. The program includes diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic mobility (pelvic tilts, hip circles, cat-cow), stretching (butterfly, child pose, deep squat), and progressive strengthening of phasic and tonic fibers through stationary PFMT (10-sec moderate-hold + 3 quick flicks, 8 sets in weeks 1-3, 10 sets in weeks 4-6, 10-sec rest) and home-based PFMT (10 fast contractions and 10 moderate-hold contractions, 2 sets in weeks 1-2 with weekly set increases, 10-sec rest), performed in prone lying, supine hook-lying, butterfly, sitting, and standing positions. All sessions will be recorded, and participants will submit weekly exercise diaries.

In the supervised group, the protocol will be delivered by a physiotherapist in a clinical environment by face-to-face. The standardized Pelvic Floor Muscle Training protocol will be monitored exactly the same as Telerehabilitation group (TR-PFMT).
