This study aims to investigate whether co-activation of the pelvic floor and core muscles improves treatment outcomes in individuals with urinary incontinence. Participants diagnosed with stress, or mixed urinary incontinence will undergo a 12-week pelvic floor physiotherapy program, with or without additional core muscle co-activation exercises. Changes in urinary incontinence severity, pelvic floor muscle function, core muscle activation, and quality of life will be evaluated.
