🌟 Understanding the Pelvic Floor 🌟
Did you know that the pelvic floor is an essential part of your core muscles? 🤔 Located in your pelvis, these muscles act like a hammock, stretching from the pubic bone to the tailbone and from side to side. They work together with your deep abdominal and back muscles, as well as your diaphragm, to stabilize and support your spine.
But that's not all! The pelvic floor muscles also play a crucial role in controlling the pressure within your abdomen, especially during activities like lifting or straining during exercise. They support the bladder and bowel in men, and in women, they additionally support the uterus, bladder, and bowel AND contribute to sexual sensation and function.
The good news is that you can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles through targeted exercises known as pelvic floor muscle exercises or "Kegels." By incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can enhance the strength and functionality of your pelvic floor, promoting better control and overall well-being.
