The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel while contributing to core stability and continence. Pregnancy, childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, and high-impact activity can strain or weaken these muscles over time.
When pelvic floor strength declines, coordination and support can be affected, leading to symptoms such as leakage, reduced stability, or a sense of internal weakness. These changes are common and often underrecognized, even in otherwise active individuals.
