The main function of a toned pelvic floor musculature is to support the pelvic organs that include bladder, last part of the intestine, rectum and uterus. Since the muscles of the pelvic floor have attachments with the bladder and the anal sphincters, it is responsible for maintaining proper bladder and rectal continence. Attachment to the vagina in females, gives it an important role during sexual intercourse as it helps to relax and tighten the vagina. The pelvic floor also offers counter pressure to the descending fetus during the labor which rotates it and causes the head to present first during normal vaginal delivery. In the end, a pelvic diaphragm with normal tone helps to maintain the intra-abdominal pressure by exerting an upward counter pressure. This is of great importance during activities that increase intra-abdominal pressures like lifting, coughing, sneezing etc. Pelvic Pain And Pelvic Muscles Tension
