<\/a>Our pelvic floor muscles are the layer of muscles which are responsible for supporting your pelvic organs. Pelvic organs in females include the bladder, bowel and uterus whilst in men include the bladder and bowel. \u00a0These muscles are able to contract and relax like any other muscle in our body.\u00a0They are a very important group of muscles because they provide support to the pelvic organs which lie on top of them – much like a “hammock”<\/em>. This is particularly important in pregnant women to provide support for the baby and assist in the birthing process. They also work together with the abdominal and back muscles to help support and stabilise the spine.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
