Pelvic organ prolapse is one of the common conditions in women with reproductive age group. In the developing countries pelvic organ prolapse poses as a common problem of the women population. We present a case of 21-year-old female with third degree uterine prolapse operated with laparoscopic sling procedure. The patient evaluation revealed weakness of pelvic oor muscles and urinary incontinence. She underwent threeweeks of structured and comprehensive Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) in the department of Community Physiotherapy. The PFMT protocol included patient education primarily motivating the patient to adhere to the exercises. She was prescribed with relaxation technique, core muscle training and pelvic oor muscle strengthening exercises. There was a signicant improvement in the pelvic oor muscle strength after three weeks of therapy and there was a signicant improvement in the urinary incontinence. Presentation of this case clearly demonstrates the importance of pelvic oor muscle training in improving the strength of the pelvic oor muscles and controlling the urinary incontinence thereby improving quality of life
