Why the pelvic floor muscles support our entire body center

Pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions are widespread in our society, but are still kept out of public talk. Women are most often affected, especially after one or more pregnancies. But the muscles of the pelvic floor also slowly weaken in men over the age of 75. Targeted exercises can provide relief and help those affected to enjoy a better quality of life.

What is the pelvic floor?

In medicine, the pelvic floor is the area in the pelvic cavity between the pubic bone and the coccyx, which is interwoven with connective tissue and muscles. The pelvic floor consists of several layers of muscles, tendons and tissues, holds the organs in place and ensures controlled opening and closing of the body’s orifices.

What muscles are there in the pelvic floor?

The muscles in the pelvic floor are arranged in three layers that effectively close the entire pelvic outlet. These three layers stabilize the position of organs in the abdominal cavity and the back. If the pelvic floor is overly stressed, problems such as bladder weakness can occur. This happens, for example, during childbirth, but can also be triggered by obesity or heavy lifting.

How does a weak pelvic floor feel?

In women and men alike, the pelvic floor can be weakened by obesity, physical overload, poor posture, pelvic surgery and, in some cases, medication. The most common symptoms that occur with a weak pelvic floor include, urinary incontinence and lower abdominal pain.

What are the possible consequences of weakened pelvic floor muscles?

Overstretching and overloading the stabilizing muscle layers in the pelvic floor can lead to bladder weakness or even lowering of the internal organs. Accordingly, such pelvic floor weakness can have serious consequences. For prevention, regular pelvic floor exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist are advisable.

What treatment options are available?

Regular pelvic floor exercises can help to strengthen the weak muscles in the pelvic floor. If the symptoms are already present, they can be treated well with targeted exercises for the pelvic floor. The physiotherapist can create an individual exercise program for this purpose and accompany the execution of the exercises accordingly. The pelvic floor can only function properly when load and resilience are in balance.

Food plays a central role in our lives, not only as a primary source of nutrition and energy for our body, but also for our soul and spirit. Like everything else in life, nutrition must always be in balance. Only in this way, we can maintain our physical and mental health.

As a naturopath, I occasionally reached my limits when it came to pain relief. Although the patients joints, muscles and the musculoskeletal system appeared to be fine after the treatment, some of them still complained about ongoing pain. Notably, it all came down to their body weight, which played a massive role in the outcome of the treatment. Obesity and joint wear and tear are directly related and reduce the effect of a therapeutic treatment, vitamin and mineral deficiency caused by an unbalanced and unhealthy diet als contribute to a negative outcome.

A blood test gave us the necessary answers and made me realize, that nutrition is an important part of the regenerative processes and has a direct impact on therapeutic treatments.
Other patients asked about the influence of nutrition on their wellbeing in terms of exhaustion, lack of energy and difficulties in concentrating. Despite being healthy from a medical point of view, they felt exhausted and often blamed it on their age or stressful lifestyle. Others, however, were aware of their poor diet and obesity, but did not know how to get out of their situation or Weren‘t motivated to start a diet. Often these patients also complained about digestive disorders and were looking for a holistic and natural solution to their problem.

Therefore I decided to attend a 14-month seminar on “Holistic nutritional counseling” for naturopaths and am now looking forward to expanding our treatment offers, adding a new and very important element of health-oriented applications within the practice: Nutritional advice
