Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Mallorca

The pelvic floor is the set of muscles, ligaments and bones located at the base of the pelvis that support the bladder, rectum and uterus.. These muscles can be differentiated in two planes:

• Surface plane in which the muscles that form it extend from front to back between the pubis and the coccyx, laterally between the ischia. They draw a kind of figure eight that crosses at the level of an area called the tendinous center of the perineum. The main function of these muscles is sexual and they also help support the viscera.
• Deep plane. These muscles form the highest plane, above the superficial muscles and are closer to the viscera. The whole is dome-shaped, convex downward, concave upward. This superior concavity opposes that of the diaphragm muscle, hence its name “pelvic diaphragm”.

These muscles and ligaments must be in good correct condition and functioning as it contains very important viscera such as the bladder and rectum, and in the case of women also the uterus and vagina, while in men, the prostate.
