Figure 2 Treatment of the pelvic floor.

Notes: With the patient supine, place one hand under the sacral bone and the other on the pubis, with fingers turned upward, toward the face. When the patient inhales, carefully help the sacral bone rise, while at the same time helping the pubic bone to descend. During exhalation, perform the process in reverse order, until the previous tensions disappear.
