Physiotherapy according to the BeBo Concept as prophylaxis and treatment of urinary incontinence in women after natural childbirth

Abstract Pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions can lead to urinary incontinence, a condition which often affects women both during pregnancy and after childbirth. As a result of this, certain exercises are recommended during and after pregnancy to prevent and treat this incontinence, and the BeBo Concept...

Due to its positive impact on the pelvic floor, this exercise program should be recommended to women after natural childbirth.Aneta ŚnieżekDorota CzechowskaMarta CuryłoJacek GłodzikPaweł SzymanowskiAnna RojekAnna MarchewkaNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2021)
