Part 1: anatomy and physiology of obturator internus that is responsible for external rotation of the hip, stabilization of the hips and pelvic ring, anchor for the bladder and prostate. This muscle is ALWAYS involved in all dysfunctions of pelvic floor. Next video: Part 2 I will post exercise to address the muscle. Is your obturator internus tight? DM: yes OR no #pelvicfloor #pelvichealthnj #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloorpt #madisonnj #pelvicpain # bladder #hiptightness #

The obturator internus is a deep hip rotator and also one of your pelvic floor muscles! Tightness and stiffness through this muscle can give difficulty to pelvic floor issues such as rectal pain. Try stretching this muscle to aid in relaxation through the pelvic floor and rectal symptoms. #pelvicfloor #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloorpt #pelvichealthnj #pelvichealthphysio #pelvicfloortherapy #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #physicaltherapist #physiotherapist #physio #pelvicf
