Pelvic health refers to the well-being and proper function of the pelvic region, which includes the pelvic floor muscles, pelvic organs, and surrounding structures. It's an important aspect of overall health that can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life.

What are the Pelvic Muscles?

​

The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that form a sling-like structure at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus or prostate, and rectum) and play a role in bowel, bladder, and sexual function
