SURE 4. PELVIC
4.1. PELVIC
The "FLOOR" of your pelvis is made up
of layers of muscles that support the
bowel, bladder, urethra and uterus.
These muscles are like a hammock, or
the bottom and sides of a bowl, in
shape. They run from the pubic bone in
the front to the end of the spinal column
(or tail bone) in the back.
The pelvic floor muscles:
• Assist in supporting the abdominal
and pelvic organs.
• Work with the abdominal and back
muscles to stabilise and support the
spine.
• In women, also
o provide support for the baby
o assist in the birthing process
• Pelvic
important for sexual function. In
programme women,

contribute to sexual sensation and
arousal.
