Pelvic floor health is relevant for everyone, men and women. But if we aren't experiencing any symptoms, why should we have good tone in the pelvic floor?
It supports organs from prolapsing. The pelvic floor acts like a bowl for many internal organs and because of this, it’s important to keep it healthy.
Good tone in the pelvic floor can actually lift organs back to their normal position.
Proper tone and placement can determine the healthy function of bladder, prostate, uterus, digestive tract and elimination muscles.
Healthier sexual function.
