Back pain & the pelvic floor: the underestimated connection
In short: The pelvic floor is part of the deep core. If it is weak or poorly controlled, the lower back lacks stability – leading to potential muscle tension and discomfort. Targeted training can strengthen this core. The causes of back pain are diverse and need medical clarification.

Why are the back and pelvic floor connected?
The pelvic floor works in tandem: together with the deep abdominal muscles, the deep back muscles, and the diaphragm, it forms what is known as the core. This muscle group stabilizes the pelvis and spine – during every movement, lifting, sitting, or standing. A weakened or poorly controlled pelvic floor, often after pregnancies, prolonged sitting, or aging, can lead to a lack of stability in the lower spine. This can contribute to tension and discomfort. The good news: the core is trainable.
Two Starting positions
- The pelvic floor and deep muscles work together
- The spine is supported from within
- More confidence under strain & in everyday life
- Pelvic floor barely noticeable or weakened
- Stability is lacking – other muscles compensate
- Tension & discomfort can increase
