Pelvic Floor Muscles: Tone, Coordination, Strength & Endurance

A 2-page clinical resource explaining why pelvic floor function matters, written in plain, approachable language.
Inside you’ll find:
Four key areas of pelvic floor function, each explained simply:
Tone: the ability to tense and relax when needed, with signs of increased or decreased resting tension (pain, difficulty with insertion or bowel emptying, leaking, reduced organ support).
Coordination: how the muscles respond automatically to coughing, sneezing, laughing, jumping and lifting.
Strength: the role of the sphincters in holding in urine, stool and wind, including why menstrual blood can’t be held in.
Endurance: how these postural muscles support the spine and pelvic organs throughout the day.
Why full relaxation matters for everyday activities such as toileting, using tampons, cups or discs, comfortable penetration, vaginal birth and internal health checks.

A lined Clinical Notes section for practitioners to record observations or individual guidance during appointments.
A QR code links to further learning. It’s ideal for pelvic health physiotherapists, clinicians and educators to use with clients, and works well as a take-home resource.
