Abstract
Sexual dysfunctions are common conditions that can affect quality of life and overall well-being. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation play a key role in managing these dysfunctions by addressing musculoskeletal, neurological, and circulatory factors. This chapter discusses physiotherapy approaches such as patient education, posture training, and treatment of musculoskeletal problems; cognitive behavioral therapy; and pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions. A multidisciplinary approach involving physiotherapists and healthcare professionals is essential for effective management. Evidence-based rehabilitation strategies can help improve sexual function, reduce symptoms, and enhance patient outcomes.
