Physiotherapy in Women's Health Research Group

The group's mission is to promote the growth of physiotherapy in women's health, promoting beneficial behaviors in the health and well-being of women with the vision of being the benchmark in Physiotherapy in Women's Health. The values of the FPSM Research Group are commitment, trust and innovation with the purpose of transferring clinical research in women's health to society, making it accessible to all women.

The main lines of research are developed within two large sections, the clinical section (physiotherapy in physiological processes such as pregnancy and menopause, and in pathophysiological processes, such as pelvic floor dysfunctions, oncological conditions and their different sequelae, and pain in women) and the educational section (therapeutic and health education, teaching innovation and service learning).
