Where Is The Pelvic Floor Located In The Body?

The pelvic floor helps us regulate our urinary and bowel movement functions by opening and closing the appropriate areas when we need to use the bathroom.
The pelvic floor provides support for the organs in the lower body such as the intestines, bladder, and so on.
The pelvic floor aids in supporting the lower back and hips.
The pelvic floor helps enhance sexual experiences.
The pelvic floor helps maintain the flow of blood in the pelvis and womb.
