Abstract: Background: Postpartum perineal injuries are a common and significant health issue for women, often leading to long-term physical and psychological consequences. While various rehabilitation strategies exist, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of their practical application and effectiveness. Objective: This paper aims to provide a detailed analysis of the practical features of rehabilitation in female patients with postpartum injuries of the perineum, drawing on existing literature to synthesize a set of evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice. Methods: A systematic literature review and synthesis of research was conducted. Key academic databases were searched, and a thematic analysis was performed to identify and categorize common rehabilitation techniques, their practical implementation, and associated challenges. Results: The findings indicate that a multi-modal approach, integrating special exercises, physiotherapy, and massage, is most effective for postpartum perineal rehabilitation. The practical implementation of these techniques is influenced by factors such as patient adherence, access to care, and the need for individualized treatment plans. Conclusion: A holistic and evidence-based approach to postpartum perineal rehabilitation is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. This paper highlights the need for greater attention to the practical aspects of rehabilitation in clinical practice and provides a set of recommendations to guide healthcare practitioners. Future research should focus on large-scale clinical trials to further validate these findings
