• This study will be conducted to determine the effect of pilates exercises on stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women
Pilates exercises help in the controlled movement of the core, that act as a corset and it activates both core muscle and synergistically the PFM. (Trantafylidis, 2009).
There is limited evidence regarding the use of Pilates exercises for the management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in older women (Keri, 2013; Pyria et al, 2021). So this study will be conducted to determine the effect of Pilates exercises on SUI in postmenopausal women which provide an insight about the benefits of such exercise on postmenopausal SUI.
