The pelvic floor muscles use the ischium as a foundation for movement, contracting and relaxing to support pelvic stability, organ function, and the maintenance of erections.
1. Relationship Between the Ischium and Pelvic Floor Muscles
Attachment Points of the Pelvic Floor Muscles:
The pelvic floor muscles(including the puborectalis, levator ani, ischiocavernosus, and bulbospongiosus)originate from the ischium and extend toward the pubic bone and coccyx.
Ischial Movement and Pelvic Floor Muscle Activity
When the ischium moves outward the pelvic floor muscles are stretched, while when it moves inward they contract more easily.
