Hi, my name is Nikki Cookson. I'm a doctor of physical therapy and part of the specialized group of professionals that treat pelvic floor dysfunction here at Mayo clinic. I'm here to talk to you about pelvic floor muscles. There are 26 individual muscles that make up the pelvic floor. As a group. They attach from the pubic bone in the front and run across the pelvis attaching onto your tailbone, much like a hammock. Because of their orientation, they have four identified functions. The first function is support of the pelvic organs, which include the bowels, uterus, and bladder. The second is bowel and bladder function. Third, stabilization of the spine. And lastly, sexual appreciation. Thanks so much for watching this video. For more related videos, please click on the links below.
