The pelvic floor muscles, what do they do??

Confused about the function of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM?s) and how to keep them healthy. Most women know the importance of core strengthening for health and long-term well-being, but the pelvic floor is also an important group of core muscles, which tend to get ignored.?


Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is usually advised as a first line treatment option for bladder or bowel dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse but many women report not feeling confident to perform these correctly.?


Healthy PFM?s are needed to?

? Prevent bladder and bowel leaks?

? Support the growing uterus?

? Prevent pelvic organ descent (prolapse)?

? Work with core muscles to support the spine?

? Enhance sexual sensation?


Pelvic floor problems can be due to?

? Regular straining to empty the bowel?

? Constant coughing?

? Weight of baby and fluids during pregnancy?

? Muscle damage and interventions used during birth?

? Work involving regular heavy lifting?

? Excessive abdominal workouts or over challenging exercise?

? Pelvic organ prolapse?

? Hysterectomy and some pelvic surgery?

? Less oestrogen after menopause?

? Infection and pain?


Delivered by a female osteopath/pilates practitioner. These workshops include practical sessions on a mat so please wear comfortable loose clothing.?

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
