Pubococcygeus muscle

[cr2]

Might be a stupid question, but can one actually tell the pubococcygeus muscle apart from the rest of the pelvic floor when it is fully relaxed?

The reason why I ask this is that I can actually feel this "cord" running from my perineum towards the posterior part of the pelvic floor, and this is indeed my pubococcygeus muscle - in its "relaxed" state.
If it indeed is more tense than it should, is external "trigger point work" possible on the muscle?

Thanks!

Yes, external trigger point work is possible on some of the pelvic muscles. My physio is at that point where he is treating some of the muscles from the perineum as well as some internal work.
