On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF Claire Gill is joined by Ingrid
Harm-Ernandes, PT, WCS, BCB-PMD to unpack a topic many overlook in bone
health conversations: the pelvic floor. Their discussion reveals how this
hidden muscle system plays a critical role in strength, balance, mobility,
and fall prevention. The pelvic floor is more than just a support
structure. It acts as a foundation for the body, working in coordination
with the core, hips, and spine. When functioning properly, it supports
organs, controls bladder and bowel function, contributes to sexual health,
and stabilizes movement. When it is weak or not functioning correctly, it
can increase the risk of falls and fractures.
