Why does the pelvic floor matter? Because it’s working quietly behind the scenes every single day 💪👇
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of your pelvis — kind of like a hammock — that plays a vital role in how your body functions:
1️⃣ Supports your organs: It literally holds up your bladder, uterus, and re**um, keeping them in the right place.
2️⃣ Controls bowel and bladder: These muscles contract and relax so you can “go” when you need to — and hold it when you don’t.
3️⃣ Stabilizes your core: The pelvic floor works together with your deep abs, diaphragm, and back muscles to keep your core strong and balanced.
4️⃣ Aids in sexual function: Healthy coordination helps with arousal, sensation, and comfort during intimacy.
5️⃣ Manages pressure: Every time you breathe, cough, laugh, or lift something, your pelvic floor helps regulate pressure through your abdomen and spine.
When this system is weak, tight, or not working in sync, you might experience leaks, pain, prolapse, or instability — but pelvic floor therapy can help you restore control and confidence.
