pelvic muscles

Hip floor group

The pelvic muscles form the floor of the pelvis, supporting the bladder, intestines, and reproductive organs.

They control urination, bowel movements, and sexual function.

Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic muscles, particularly after childbirth or to address incontinence: Physical therapy can help restore pelvic muscle tone.
