This is looking down into the cis-female pelvis, giving an impression of what the muscles of the pelvic floor look like internally. I try to educate all my patients about the pelvic floor anatomy, as it is so important for our overall pelvic health and an often ignored part of the body!
As a pelvic floor physiotherapist, I am trained to assess the strength and tone of the pelvic floor muscles and guide retraining these muscles in coordination with the rest of the body. This can help those suffering with stress or urge incontinence, prolapse and sensations of prolapse, and pelvic pain. It can also support recovery and return to activity in the post-natal population.
There is so much evidence showing the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training to help with all the above issues, and its so much more than just "do your Kegels!" Please reach out to me if you have any questions about the pelvic floor.
