Pelvic floor muscles act like a hammock supporting bladder and bowel

Simple movements like “butterflies” help activate pelvic muscles
Correct technique and regular practice are essential for results
Different exercises address urinary, bowel, and sexual function
Variety in exercise improves muscle response and recovery
