Home Pelvic Routines are launched on online platform
First major collaboration with Irish Physiotherapists set to generate revenue of over €500,000
Spectrum Health and International Pelvic Physiotherapy Management (IPPM) are delighted to announce their partnership to provide Home Pelvic Routines for Women and Men. These are evidence-based, high quality online pelvic floor muscle training and routines to treat incontinence and other pelvic conditions. Urinary incontinence impacts one in three women and one in eight men are affected by pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, leading to urinary incontinence and bladder leaks. People can be reluctant to talk about this problem and many suffer in silence.
Home Pelvic Routines are an online series of specific pelvic floor muscle exercises and routines provided in a step-by-step way, at the right pace, in a clear, concise, easy to follow way. There are affordable, discrete, and widely available on a smart phone, tablet, or PC, and can be used in comfort and privacy. Home Pelvic Routine has been developed by IPPM’s Aoife Ni Eochaidh, Chartered Physiotherapist, Clinical Specialist in Women’s, and Men’s Health. Aoife is a multi-award-winning physiotherapist and a global expert in pelvic, women’s and men’s physiotherapy.
Live on the Spectrum Health website since May 3, 2022, Home Pelvic Routines can be done in conjunction with seeing your Spectrum Health Physiotherapist, or as a stand-alone way of accessing pelvic floor muscle training and reducing the number of in-person pelvic physiotherapy appointments a person may need.
Home Pelvic Routine for Women is suitable for women of all ages with bladder and bowel problems and/or pelvic organ prolapse (the bladder, bowel or womb coming down in the pelvic floor muscles), and Home Pelvic Routine for Men is suitable to treat pelvic floor issues, pre and post prostate cancer surgery, bladder and bowel incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
“We’re very excited about partnering with Chartered Physiotherapist Aoife Ní Eochaidh and IPPM on this as it will make such a huge difference in the day to day lives of many of our patients,” says Anne McGoldrick, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Spectrum Health. “Her expertise and experience in this area of pelvic health is invaluable, and the evidence to support non-invasive digital treatment is vast, with life-changing results in many cases. “
Progressive pelvic floor muscle training is recommended as a first line treatment for incontinence (CG171 NICE Guideline 2016). Three out of four women with any type of incontinence who complete pelvic floor muscle training will see resolution of symptoms such as episodes of incontinence (National Institute of Research doi:10.33310/signal-000702).
Aoife Ni Eochaidh, CEO of IPPM, says she is “delighted to partner with Spectrum Health, a leading supplier of Physiotherapy in Ireland, with 30 physiotherapy clinics throughout Ireland. I am confident that together we will improve the quality of lives of Spectrum Health patients in Ireland who need pelvic floor muscle training, either for prevention or essential therapy.”
