A web\u2010based survey was conducted (1) to investigate whether responses from health professionals and the public broadly reflected findings in the literature, (2) if responses differed between the two groups, and (3) to identify new research directions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Health professional and public surveys were posted on the ICS website. PFMT adherence barriers and facilitators were divided into four categories: physical\/condition, patient, therapy, and social\u2010economic. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics from quantitative data and thematic data analysis for qualitative data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Five hundred and fifteen health professionals and 51 public respondents participated. Both cohorts felt \u201cpatient\u2010related factors\u201d constituted the most important adherence barrier, but differed in their rankings of short\u2010 and long\u2010term barriers. Health professionals rated \u201cpatient\u2010related\u201d and the public \u201ctherapy\u2010related\u201d factors as the most important adherence facilitator. Both ranked \u201cperception of PFMT benefit\u201d as the most important long\u2010term facilitator. Contrary to published findings, symptom severity was not ranked highly. Neither cohort felt the barriers nor facilitators differed according to PFM condition (urinary\/faecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain); however, a large number of health professionals felt differences existed across age, gender, and ethnicity. Half of respondents in both cohorts felt research barriers and facilitators differed from those in clinical practice.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>An emphasis on \u201cpatient\u2010related\u201d factors, ahead of \u201ccondition\u2010specific\u201d and \u201ctherapy\u2010related,\u201d affecting PFMT adherence barriers was evident. Health professionals need to be aware of the importance of long\u2010term patient perception of PFMT benefits and consider enabling strategies. <jats:italic>Neurourol.
