Pelvic Floor Muscles; Orientation and Function – Mayo Clinic Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy



As part of your consultation with a pelvic floor physical therapist we will review the structure and function of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of twenty-six muscles that attach at the pubic bone and run across the pelvis attaching to the tailbone. These muscles have four major functions: support of the pelvic organs, bowel and bladder function, stabilization of the spine, and sexual appreciation.
