It connects the 2 halves of the pelvis. The joint is composed of fibrocartilage, which provides strength and stability while allowing slight movement. The pubic bone itself is a thick, flat bone that forms the lower part of the front of the pelvis. It serves as an attachment site for various muscles, including the adductor (groin) muscles of the inner thigh, the abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor muscles. (You could think of the pubic symphysis and the coccyx as the 2 fixed ends of your pelvoc floor 'hammock'. Together, the pubic symphysis joint, along with the surrounding pelvic floor muscles, play a crucial role in maintaining pelvic stability and supporting the pelvic organs. During activities such as walking, running, and standing, these structures work together to provide strength and control to the pelvis. Tweet
