Скачать или смотреть Episode 3: Pelvic Floor Function

Like all muscles, the pelvic floor must CONTRACT and RELAX to be functional.

Actions: The pelvic floor flexes the tailbone and lifts the bladder neck along with allowing for internal pelvic and hip stability.

The pelvic floor lengthens and relaxes with inhalation (long slow and smooth breaths in), hip flexion and abduction.

The pelvic floor shortens reflexively with exhalation (long, slow smooth breaths outward), hip extension and adduction.

The gluteal muscles are the anatagonist to the pelvic floor (they work with opposite action).
