Participants who attended movement-based PT demonstrated an improvement in LUTS. Future studies should extend our findings by: first, confirming whether the myofascial pain-directed elements of PT improved LUTS; second, investigating whether movement-based PT improves prolapse symptoms; and third, including a non-PT control arm to rule out the possible influence of a placebo effect and behavioral modifications on LUTS and PFMP.
