Steemit Learning Challenge-S27W4; Physiofit; Pelvic Floor Strengthening
Hello Steemit Friends,
I am feeling very excited and happy to participate in this week 4 Steemit Learning Challenge Season 27.
I honestly thank the Steemit team and @ashkhan who provided us this opportunity to learn about this amazing topic and share our knowledge with others.
This week's topic is the pelvic floor. A very small part of our body and cover very small area as compared to others. But very important role playing in our full body health and fitness. Without a pelvic floor our body balance would not remain and constant because it provides support to our internal parts. Also controlling the bladder and intestine functions and play a very important role during women maternity.
Task 1: You have to share your knowledge about pelvic floor, muscles, it's type, and causes. Try to add 3 to 4 new causes.
Definition of Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is a collection of lower parts including fibers, muscles and ligaments which are situated in the human body.
It is an eloquent base or swing which provides support to the bladder, womb and large intestine. These muscles started movement at that time when we omitted our urine and waste or put pressure on our bodies.
Parts of the Pelvic Floor
There are two main and important organs of the pelvic floor:
1- Levator Ani
Pubococcygeus: helps to control the bladder and genetics actions.
Puborectalis: Helps to control the exclusion of waste.
Iliococcygeus: Provides support to the internal organs in the direction of the upper side.
2. Coccygeus Muscle
This muscle provides support to the last part of the backbone and completes the pelvic diaphragm.
Piriformis and obturator internus are also very helpful organs to help the pelvic floor movement and balancing.
Pelvic Floor Types
1. Hypertonic Pelvic Floor:
In this condition muscles become very hard. The patient suffers the Belly pain, again and again urine and constipation.
2. Hypotonic Pelvic Floor:
This condition occurs due to slacking and weakness of muscles. In this condition the bladder or womb moves aside under or prolapse and loose to control the urine and waste.
3. Normal Pelvic Floor:
In this condition muscles become well balanced. Muscles become not too hard and not too soft. All the physical movement works properly and completely.
Causes of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Maternity and aging are the main basic causes of pelvic floor dysfunction. But many other acts are also causes of this which are.
Heavy Weight Lifting
When you daily do heavy work like weight lifting and work of loading and unloading it occurs and also weak muscles.
Old Accusation of Constipation
When you apply force repeatedly during waste pelvic floor muscles become misplay and don't work properly because of elasticity.
Hormonal Changes:
After menopause females estrogen degrees are low and because of estrogen insufficiency muscles come slack.
Obesity and Unnecessary Acts of Life
Body weight is as much as excessive as much as pelvic floor pressure increases. The pelvic floor depends on it.
Maternity or Damage of organs During Surgery
Muscles become affected after the surgery of pelvic floor parts and maternity.
Chronic Coughing
Continuous coughing is the main cause of continually pressure on the pelvic floor. It will be very harmful for its proper functioning and working.
Task 2: You have to share your history if your suffer from any pelvic floor dysfunction recently that is present with symptom or any patient nearby.
By the grace of God I never faced any problem related to pelvic floor dysfunction and never felt any practicality of it. Also I have no contact with any type of patient in my surroundings. For my personal knowledge and practice and learn physiotherapy. I will understand it will be a curable disease. If very daily routine some exercises related to the pelvic floor.
Task 3: It would be better if you treat the patient by performing above given physiotherapy management, share videos or pictures while performing and then review after getting treatment. (Try to use 3 methods).
I personally perform three main and essential exercises communed to the pelvic floor and feel the impact of these exercises. In starting I feel tiredness and fatigue in my muscles but I feel very different after performing these exercises. My back becomes strong, my sitting position is also getting good and my body balance also improves.
1. Pelvic Tilt Exercise
I'm laying in soft surface cloth and bending my knees. Absorb the breathe inside and compress my stomach muscles at the inside. Slowly slowly I bend my hips to the above and holds for five seconds. Slowly releasing my breathe and back to my normal position. I repeated this exercise for fifteen times. After performing it I feel pliantness and feel power in my lower abdomen.

3. Hip Bridging Exercise
Bend my knees and touch my hand to the body. With the help of heels I pushed my hips to the above. My body become in one line from shoulders to knees. I hold it for five seconds and go back to normal position. I do it for twelve times of this exercise. Stress loose between hips and back and feel pelvic floor muscles more efficient.

It is very important to maintain pelvic floor health because pelvic floor provides fitness to our physical and mental health. This muscle not only provides support to internal organs further provide control to the movement and and balance.
This week challenge realised me that pelvic floor exercises should be part of our daily life.
I invited my friends @rmj, @mohammad1076, @wuddi and all the Steemit family to join this challenge and learn about pelvic floor exercises and aware others that all become spending healthy life.
Best Regards,
