Rehabilitation of pelvic floor dysfunction after radiation therapy for a rare gynecological cancer: A case report
Treatment utilized a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to address the multifactorial nature of vaginal cancer and side effects of RT. PHPT, which promptly maximized improvement, included manual therapy, exercises, education, and motivational interviewing strategies that prioritized the patient's goals and built a nurturing clinician-patient relationship. Health care providers are strongly encouraged to refer to PHPT as interventions may significantly improve the patient's quality of life.This case report follows the CARE Guidelines (Riley et al., 2017).
