Program Description
The Pelvic Floor
The pelvis has a "hammock" or "sling" of muscles, located in the lower abdomen, that stretches across your pelvic floor. For both men and women, the pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel, rectum and urethra and maintains urinary and fecal continence. In women, these muscles support the uterus and play an important role in vaginal childbirth.
