Therapeutic Exercise on the Psychological Well-being of Women Victims of Gender Violence.

May 9, 2024 updated by: Lorenzo Antonio Justo Cousino, PhD, University of Vigo

Effect of a Physiotherapy Intervention Based on Therapeutic Exercise on the Psychological Well-being of Women Victims of Gender Violence.

The scientific literature shows that women subjected to gender violence suffer a deterioration in mental health (anxiety, stress and depression). In particular, a recent study carried out in Galicia found a high incidence of post-traumatic stress, depression and low self-esteem in women victims of gender violence.

The efficacy of therapeutic exercise in depression and anxiety has been widely demonstrated, as has the link between gender violence and deterioration of mental health, with a high incidence of post-traumatic stress. However, research on the effect of therapeutic exercise in battered women is very limited.

For this reason, the aim of the present project is to evaluate the effect of a therapeutic exercise program on mental health in women who have suffered gender violence.
