Pelvic Health & the Forgotten Nine Pelvic Floor Muscles

The pelvic floor contains nine of the most important muscles in the body. Muscles that are, for the most part, left 100% untreated by the vast majority of medical practitioners. This is bad.

Barring significant structural and/or neural damage, nobody should have incontinence. I can’t freaking stand seeing and hearing the adult depends or night catheter commercials. Or hearing patient’s say they have been told for decades that it is normal. NOOOO!!!! This is our “Sick Care” system at its best. Or worst, depending how you look at it. A huge percentage of the population, especially physical therapy (PT), athletic training (AT) and chiropractic (DC) patients of all ages have some type of incontinence and pelvic dysfunction.

A primary reason for this is, most medical professionals, for some completely illusory reason, tell their patients it is just a normal part of life. Especially if you are female. Even more so following childbirth. I’m not talking about like for 3 months after birth. This is a lifetime problem for a lot of people. And it Shouldn’t be. If I had to put a number on it, I would say that 90% of all this is easily fixable. You just have to understand how to fix it. Or have superpowers. Or both…

I believe it is impossible to regulate the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), to the fullest capacity possible, without treating the Forgotten Nine. Regulating the ANS toward homeostasis, in turn, will facilitate homeostatic epigenetic expression. Furthermore, it is impossible to properly treat the vast majority of Physical Therapy-related impairments without specifically focusing on regulating the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, it is impossible to properly treat the majority of PT patients without treating the pelvic floor. See what I did there? I’m sneaky like that. Haha.

But seriously, I’m not joking. It is also impossible to fully address many other impairments, like low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, bla bla bla, without treating the Forgotten Nine. Just think about it. All these muscles are attached to our pelvis and our autonomic nervous system, via the sacral plexus, S2-S4. Our pelvis is the center of our mass. If your pelvis is pathologic, it leads to lots of bad stuff, both on a neurophysiologic and musculoskeletal level.
