The pelvic floor is vital to many of your bodily functions and yet, it is one of the most neglected muscle groups within the body. It comprises the muscles that support the urinary tract, the reproductive tract, and the bowels. The pelvic floor also plays a role in supporting the entire body. Keeping these muscles in shape requires more than just the well-known “Kegel” exercises. The pelvic floor is responsible for keeping all organs in the pelvic region in place in both women and men. Any stretching or laxity in those muscles or ligaments could result in a prolapse (displacement).
Specifically, the pelvic floor is vital when healing after pregnancy, as well as maintaining gynecological health as we age. A healthy and well-functioning pelvic floor could be the thing that prevents urinary and bowel incontinence, as well as painful prolapses that could include vaginal bulging. Strengthening these muscles can also reduce pain during sex and increase pleasurable experiences, including more powerful orgasms.
Pelvic floor strengthening exercises are vital when it comes to treating problems related to the pelvic floor. These specialized forms of strengthening exercises use muscles that you’ve probably never used before, intentionally. These exercises help relieve the pain and discomfort that comes from a weakened pelvic floor and may prevent surgery followed by a long recovery process later.
