Overview of Female Pelvic Floor Muscle Anatomy and Physiology

Introduction The pelvic floor does not exist in isolation. It is part of a complex system that works synergistically with structures and systems both nearby and further away in the body, including the ankle / foot complex, the thorax and respiratory complex, the central nervous system and the brain. WEB Because the body is a dynamic, interrelated, fascially connected, biotensegral (SCARR) system, it is important that pelvic health physiotherapists consider the contribution of all these systems and structures when assessing and treating pelvic health complaints.
