Welcome to the Continence Foundation of Australia
The pelvic floor in 3D
Visualise your pelvic floor and see exactly what it is, where it's located and why it is important to train this hidden group of muscles.
These 3D videos for women and men show you how the pelvic floor muscle moves and supports bladder and bowel control.
