Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a significant clinical problem that affects many women at different stages of life. The objective of this study is to synthesize current evidence on physiotherapeutic techniques applied in the treatment of POP, providing a clear and wellfounded perspective for health professionals. A systematic review of the literature was conducted between 2019 and 2024, using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and COCHRANE, and keywords related to physiotherapy and pelvic prolapse. Eleven studies with a good methodological quality score were selected. The results showed that pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) significantly improves pelvic, urinary, and intestinal symptoms, as well as pelvic floor function and quality of life. However, no significant improvements were observed in sexual function or changes in the stage of POP. The heterogeneity among the studies made interpretation of the results difficult. Additionally, when PFMT was used as an adjunct to surgery, no additional improvements were evidenced.
