^{PRESENTATION OF THE 1st 2 DAYS OF THE SEMINAR}

The seminar lasts 4 days.
In the first two days we will deal with Physiotherapy and Pelvic Ground Rehabilitation in urinary incontinence in women and men.
This seminar includes rehabilitation strategies for various forms of urinary incontinence, of non-neurogenic origin, for women and men. Physiotherapy and pelvic floor rehabilitation are the first treatment option for non-neurogenic urinary incontinence.
This symptom, defined as involuntary loss of urine, has a profound effect on quality of life: sufferers often report feelings of embarrassment, stress, discomfort to the environment, and people close to them.
This can lead to changes in emotional, relational and social life. In addition, incontinence can have significant financial costs.
In recent decades, the international literature has paid close attention to this problem: in this way, scientific data and experiments have shown the effectiveness of various treatment options, including physiotherapy and pelvic floor rehabilitation.
It consists of a series of techniques and equipment, which through a process of clinical reasoning and in the light of the example of evidence based practice, allow the management of the symptom associated with urinary incontinence of non-neurogenic etiology.

^{SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES}
At the end of the 1st 2 days the participant will be able to:
• Knows what forms of incontinence can be treated with physical therapy and pelvic floor rehabilitation
• Performs functional evaluation of the patient suffering from urinary incontinence of non-neurogenic origin
• Plan the physiotherapy intervention and rehabilitation
• Knows techniques and tools regarding the definition, scientific data, how to use, indications and contraindications
• Knows the final results of the treatment that followed

^{PRESENTATION OF THE 2ND DAY 2 OF THE SEMINAR}
In the 2nd two days we will deal with Physiotherapy and Pelvic Ground Rehabilitation for anal-rectal symptoms.
The seminar is aimed at medical and rehabilitation departments and includes rehabilitation for recto-rectal symptoms such as anal and stool incontinence, the urgent need to pass stool, constipation or anal pain that can closely affect the patient’s quality of life, often quite seriously.
Those who suffer often report feelings of shame, anxiety, discomfort to the environment and the people around them and present limitations in their social life that are often crucial to relationships.

^{SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES}
At the end of the 2nd 2 days the participant will be able to:
• Knows what forms of constipation, stool incontinence and other anal-rectal symptoms can be treated with physical therapy and pelvic floor rehabilitation
• Performs functional evaluation of the patient suffering from constipation, fecal incontinence and other anal-rectal symptoms
• Plan the physiotherapy intervention and rehabilitation
• Knows techniques and tools regarding the definition, scientific data, how to use, indications and contraindications
• Knows the final results of the treatment that followed
