The pelvic floor muscles form the base of the abdominal cylinder and work in synergy with other muscles around the cylinder - the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm. Activity in each muscle group affects the others. Coordinated recruitment of these muscle groups is necessary for generation and maintenance of intra-abdominal pressure, postural support of the trunk, and during functional tasks such as lifting, coughing and nose blowing. Coordinated release of these groups is required for micturition, while defaecation may need activity in some muscles and release in others. Vaginismus and vulvodynia both have a component of over activity of the pelvic floor muscles which impairs normal function, though this over activity may only occur at the time of attempted penetration. Some of the physiological factors that contribute to this overactivity come from outside the pelvic floor muscle complex itself and can be ameliorated by understanding and management of these muscle synergies. An EMG study of muscle activity of the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles during a simulated body posturing for female sexual arousal will help to explain how the pelvic floor muscle over activity in vaginismus arises. Treatment programmes that have been used to successfully address these problems will be explained.
