    There are several factors such as age, childbirth in the case of women, constipation, obesity, among others, that increase the risk of urinary incontinence, triggering different problems in the development of activities in daily life. Therefore, the present research had the aim of demonstrating the effect of pelvic floor training with progressive load in patients attending “CIDELM Centro Integral del Movimiento”. It is a retrospective study that presents a quali-quantitative approach, of descriptive type, due to the methodology used in the data collection and the respective analysis, in which two evaluation instruments were used, the Oxford test using the PERFECT method and the Sandvik Severity Index, which, with a good validity allows us to know the state of the pelvic floor musculature and the severity of the symptoms of urinary incontinence respectively. The training consisted of 8 weeks of exercises, with a frequency of 5 times per week, divided into one guided session at the center and four autonomous sessions. The effects found in this study with respect to the main factors related to urinary incontinence such as the type of delivery and constipation, it was noted that 75% the patients who gave birth through vaginal delivery had better results than those who had a cesarean delivery. As for constipation, 55% the participants who did not suffer from this condition obtained great improvement as opposed to those who did suffer from constipation. xiv A positive effect of the training with progressive load applied in the participants was proved, where an increase of the muscular function of the pelvic floor was obtained, generating a great improvement of the symptoms and in most of the patients reaching total continence.
