What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is made up of muscles deep within the pelvic girdle
that support the trunk. The function of the pelvic floor is to control
urination and defecation, and to support the pelvic organs, It is also
the major contributing factor to sexual appreciation and function.
The pelvic floor is the missing puzzle piece that is often left
untreated because of its location. It serves as an important part of
the core muscles that initiate movement. It is your inner strength.
