Pelvic Floor Exercises for Young People

What and where is your pelvic floor?
Your pelvic floor muscles are important for making your bladder work well. The picture below shows you where your pelvic floor muscles are located. They are at the base of your pelvis, below the bladder and are shaped like a sling. Both boys and girls have these muscles. If your muscles are weak, you may leak urine in-between wees or if you giggle or cough. If these muscles are tight, you might find it difficult to wee so you won’t empty your bladder completely when you go.
