| description | Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the recommended first-line treatment for urinary incontinence and lower urinary tract symptoms. However, global availability of human and financial resources limits its accessibility. Group-based PFMT, which has been studied in postmenopausal women, offers a potential solution. This paper is based on the Group-based intervention for pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions in postmenopausal women workshop held during the 2023 International Continence Society Annual Scientific Meeting, in Toronto. It reviews the current evidence on group-based PFMT, discusses participant inclusion criteria, details the structure of the 12-week PFMT programme, presents remote group-based PFMT as an alternative to in-person group-based PFMT and proposes tips and tricks to empower clinicians in conducting Group-Based interventions for urinary incontinence and lower urinary tract symptoms. |
