According to the World Health Organization (WHO), urinary incontinence is a wide spread global disease and one of the last medical taboos to many people. Urinary Incontinence is an unpleasant and most common problem for many adults, mainly majority of the women in todays fast life, stress incontinence being the commonest.In Stress Urinary Incontinence, there is involuntary leakage of urine on effort or exertion (e.g. coughing or sneezing) with increased intraabdominal pressure due to insufficient urethral support from the endopelvic fascia and muscles or the deficiency of the intrinsic muscles. As the levator ani muscles are responsible for the continence by supporting the pelvic organs and enhancing the urethral closure, pelvis floor muscles (PFM) exercises are recommended for the treatment of SUI.Various forms of pelvic floor muscle exercises are used to reduce the severity of stress urinary incontinence by improving the strength of the pelvic floor muscles.In this book concluded that Pilates exercises are more effective than Tanzberger exercises in strengthening pelvic floor muscle and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence.
