What is the Pelvic Floor?

Here we have the beautiful pelvis and the bowl-shaped pelvic floor muscles! Everyone has these muscles, and they play a huge role in body functioning. They support our organs, control of our sphincters for urination and defecation, and they play a role in sexual functioning. 

If your muscles are doing their job, you probably don’t even know they are there. When these muscles are weak or damaged, you can have a variety of issues, like leaking pee when you cough or sneeze, if these muscles have increased tension, you may have a hard time pooping, increased urges to pee, or peeing way more than usual. Ladies, you can also experience pain when seeing you gyno, inserting tampons or pain with intimacy.

​If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, ask your doctor if seeing a Pelvic PT is right for you!
