What is the pelvic floor? When does it dysfunction? What happens when it dysfunctions?
Imagine a hammock of muscles in the inner lower part of the pelvis, where on it, lay the urinary bladder and bowel, for both women and men, and additionally, for women, the uterus. When these muscles contract or relax excessively, for various reasons, a series of uncomfortable or painful symptoms can occur, such as bladder and bowel dysfunction, dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse), greater pain in the pelvic area, and pelvic organ prolapse. The Pelvic Floor Act ® program of PT PRAXIS® identifies the problem and corrects it through physical therapy effectively.

What is and isn’t normal in urination?
The correct, physiological function of the bowel brings relief.
Prolapse of the uterus, urinary bladder, intestines, and/or rectum
“Pain during sexual intercourse, reduced sensation during intercourse, maintaining an erection, rapid contraction of the muscles involved in achieving orgasm, and ejaculation are processes that are accompanied by pleasure and under normal conditions should not be associated with pain, discomfort, or disappointment.
One in three women and one in ten men will experience pelvic pain at some point in their lives due to dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles.
