The pelvic floor serves crucial roles in supporting pelvic organs, controlling bowel and bladder functions, and enhancing sexual satisfaction. The "UN-HAPPY" Pelvis is a concept that underscores the cumulative impact of trauma on the pelvis, such as seen in a fall, injury, or persistent poor posture. This trauma can have far-reaching effects on the fascial system (casings of muscle groups and fibers), manifesting as pain, limitations in motion, reduced flexibility, and an impaired ability to withstand stress, incontinence, and pain with sex. The essence of Pelvicology lies in its capacity to restore balance to the fascial system through myofascial release and muscular rehabilitation.
