PFFM Treatment model
Points of treatment were chosen according to the anamnesis (previous
history of trauma, operations, birth complications, etc.), observation
of pelvic floor muscular dysfunction and palpation of fascial
densification in a relevant CC’s or CF’s.
The manual technique included gliding like friction, over the densified
fascial points in an opposite direction to the tension line of the
tissue and in combination with the active motion of the hip joint in the
following order: full flexion-abduction-external,
rotation-extension-adduction-flexion. The hip movement changes the
multi-directional tension of the tissues involved and helps achieve a
smooth gliding movement between the fascia layers32
37-41.
Women were randomly assigned to two treatment groups:
