Assessment of the pelvic floor is addressed in distinct chapters describing subjective and objective assessment tools.

The final chapters are devoted to medical, psychosocial, and physical therapy treatment interventions with an emphasis on interdisciplinary management         The Overactive Pelvic Floor serves physicians in the fields of urology, urogynecology and gastroenterology as well as psychotherapists, sex therapists, and physical therapists.
