Summary
This clinical trial aims to determine whether adding modern physical agents (high-intensity laser therapy, magnetotherapy, radial shock wave therapy, kinesiotaping) in conjunction with classical rehabilitation interventions produces superior outcomes in treating pelvic floor dysfunction compared to classical rehabilitation interventions alone. It will also assess the safety of these agents in the context of pelvic floor dysfunction rehabilitation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does adding modern physical agents to the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction improve symptoms, impairments in functional state, quality of life, and biosocial functions more effectively than classical interventions alone? Participants who experience pelvic floor dysfunction during primary rehabilitation will receive: Either an individualized rehabilitation intervention plan comprising 20 classical procedures in combination with modern physical agents or classical interventions alone. Rehabilitation will take place in the outpatient rehabilitation department. Patients will visit the clinic for a comprehensive functional state assessment and then for individualized procedures; the entire plan will be delivered over three months, after which participants will return for follow-up checkups and assessments after the procedures and again after six months.
