简要总结
Mental practice (both in isolation and also in combination with real practice) has been shown to improve somatosensory and motor variables but so far no study has taken it into the study of women's health. Through the present study the investigators want to offer some interesting data regarding the effectiveness of mental practice combined with physical practice.

结局指标
主要结局
Skin conductance (for asessing electrodermal activity)
时间窗: pre-intervention (T0), and inmmediate post-intervention (T1) (between the first and the second measurement, about 60 minutes have elapsed because it is done on the same day)
skin conductance is a measure of sweating which is an excitatory sympathetic monoinervative variable.
次要结局
- maximal pelvic floor muscle strength (measured in grams and with the phenix device)(pre-intervention (T0), and inmmediate post-intervention (T1) (between the first and the second measurement, about 60 minutes have elapsed because it is done on the same day))
- Algometry for assessing pressure pain thresholds (Pain sensitivity)(pre-intervention (T0), and inmmediate post-intervention (T1) (between the first and the second measurement, about 60 minutes have elapsed because it is done on the same day))
