The pelvic floor consists of levator ani muscles including puborectalis, pubococcygeus and iliococcygeus muscles, and coccygeus muscles. Pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) is defined as exercise to improve pelvic floor muscle strength, power, endurance, relaxation, or a combi-nation of these parameters. PFME strengthens the pelvic floor muscles to provide urethral support to prevent urine leakage and suppress ur-gency. This exercise has been recommended for urinary incontinence since first described by Kegel. When treating urinary incontinence, par-ticularly stress urinary incontinence, PFME has been recommended as first-line treatment. This article provides clinical application of PFME as a behavioral therapy for urinary incontinence. Clinicians and physical therapist should understand pelvic floor muscle anatomy, evaluation, regimen, and instruct patients how to train the muscles properly.
