We believe that physiotherapy with muscle training (MT) of the postpartum pelvic floor may lead to a change in the clinical management of patients with avulsion of the puborectal portion of the levator ani muscle (LAM). Our objective is to assess whether physiotherapy with MT of the postpartum pelvic floor in patients with LAM avulsion produces changes in pelvic floor morphology evaluated by 3/4D transperineal ultrasound.
