The pelvic floor is the name for the web of muscles inside the pelvis that support your internal organs such as your bladder.

For a better understanding, have a look at this short youtube video where the muscles are shown and their importance described.

Now you’ll understand why the pelvic floor plays such a vital role in bladder function and how a weak pelvic floor can contribute towards a range of problems including stress incontinence.
