Understanding the anatomic relationship of the pelvic floor muscles with the
pelvic girdle, spine, and hips aids the rehabilitation provider in diagnosis,
management, and appropriate referrals. The bony anatomy of the pelvic girdle
consists of 3 bones and 3 joints. The pelvic floor muscles are comprised mainly
of the levator ani muscles with somatic innervation from the lumbosacral plexus.
The bony and muscular pelvis is highly interconnected to the hip and gluteal
musculature, which together provide support to the internal organs and core
muscles. Pelvic floor physiology is centered on bladder and bowel control, sexual
functioning, and pregnancy.
