Pelvic floor tightness is a condition where the muscles of your pelvis, the ones that control your bowel, bladder, and sexual functions become tight. Since they’re muscles, they can become tight or weak just like any other muscle in your body, take for instance your hip flexor muscles (the muscles you use to bring your knee toward your chest in a sitting or standing position). You’ve likely come across tight hip flexors if you’ve experienced back pain, knee pain, or got into a half kneeling position (the “will you marry me?” pose) and then tried to shift your weight forward. It can feel RATHER uncomfortable to experience this tightness, like your muscle magically transformed into a rubber band that is pulled to its max capacity. It’s like that for your pelvic floor muscles too. ..
