PFM (pelvic floor muscles)

Pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that form a hammock-like structure at the base of your pelvis. They support your bladder, bowel, and, for women, the uterus. These muscles help control urination, bowel movements, and can influence sexual function. Strengthening the pelvic floor can improve bladder control, prevent prolapse, and enhance overall core stability. They can be exercised through specific techniques called Kegel exercises, which involve tightening and relaxing these muscles. Maintaining a healthy pelvic floor is important for overall pelvic health and function throughout life.
