4. PELVIC FLOOR
EXERCISES
4.1. PELVIC FLOOR
MUSCLES
The “FLOOR” of your pelvis is made up
of layers of muscles that support the
bowel, bladder, urethra and uterus.
These muscles are like a hammock, or
the bottom and sides of a bowl, in
shape. They run from the pubic bone in
the front to the end of the spinal column
(or tail bone) in the back.
The pelvic floor muscles:
•
Assist in supporting the abdominal
and pelvic organs.
•
Work with the abdominal and back
muscles to stabilise and support the
spine.
•
In women, also
o
provide support for the baby
during pregnancy and
o
assist in the birthing process
Pelvic floor muscles are also important
for sexual function in both men and
women:
•
In men, it is important for erectile
function and ejaculation.
