Introduction The pelvis performs important functions in locomotion, as body weight is transmitted to the lower limbs through the pelvic girdle, during childbirth, as the human newborn must pass through the birth canal, which is within the pelvic girdle while the baby comes out of the body and support of the abdominal organs that are supported by the pelvic floor muscles and the pelvis itself. Objective: To evaluate the importance of strengthening the pelvic floor muscles using the electrical stimulation technique in women's health. Methodology: Quantitative and qualitative bibliographic review using books and articles found on Google Scholar, PubMed, SciELO using the keywords “physiotherapy”, “Pelvic floor”, “electrostimulation”, “dysfunction” and “pelvis” Results: Shown to be beneficial to help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
