Brief Summary

this study will investigate effect of hip strengthening exercises and pelvic floor exercises on stress urinary incontinence in postnatal women. Clinical practice guidelines recommend PFMT as the first-line treatment for female SUI . Also, it has been speculated that the hip muscles are involved in the continence mechanism and that their deficiency could destabilize the normal function of the system. The addition of hip muscle exercises, regardless of PFM contractions, aimed to improve muscular condition for the motor or synergic strategies in PFM contraction. Secondary effects of these techniques, such as the influence of passive lumbar rotational mobilization in improving hip flexor strength, have been of high interest in physiotherapy in general
