Your Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor muscles span the bottom of the pelvis and support the pelvic organs (bladder and bowel, and uterus (womb) in women).
What else does it do?
- Contract or shorten
- Lengthen or bulge
- Relax
- Maintain tension for continence, support
*When asked to perform a pelvic floor muscle contraction, many people do so incorrectly.
Top 5 Things the Floor Does

Support and Stabilization
Role in Continence
Posture and Alignment
Muscle Activation
Prevents organ prolapse and stabilizes core, reducing injury risk.
Manages pressure with the diaphragm and absorbs shock to prevent incontinence and pelvic pain.
Controls urinary leaks and supports bowel movement control.
Maintains pelvic alignment for efficient, injury-free life.
Engages automatically to prevent pelvic floor dysfunction.

What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
A non-surgical approach to rehabilitation of dysfunctions in the pelvis that contribute to bowel, bladder, sexual health, and pain complaints. Approaches may include behavioral strategies, manual therapies, modalities, therapeutic exercise, education, and functional re-training.

- You will be offered options regarding assessment and treatment
- Following your initial visit, you will be informed of the examination findings, and options for treatment
- You will be provided with suggestions for a home program or self-care, so that you can actively participate in your healing process
- Your therapist will communicate with your health care providers as appropriate
- Your therapist will complete an examination of how you move your body
- The pelvic muscles can also be assessed to see if there is weakness, tension, pain, or lack of coordination
