Sponsor's own description

The objective of the study is to compare the effects of visceral manual therapy associated with pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence symptoms, vaginal resting pressure and maximum voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in women. This is a randomized controlled trial with double blinding. Participants will be randomized into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups will undergo a pelvic floor muscle training program twice weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. Participants in the intervention group will also receive, once a week, a visceral manual therapy protocol and control group participants will receive a manual sham therapy protocol.
