We're Alison and Audrey, cofounders of Ruth Health ( https://www.ruthhealth.com ), a digital + at-home clinic for pregnant people :] We deliver 30-minute, online physical therapy video sessions to help the 83% of postpartum womxn with moderate-to-severe Pelvic Floor Prolapse—in other words, who pee in their pants after pregnancy. Birthing people deserve a life without postpartum pain and incontinence. With our person…
This seems promising. My wife wonders what the 5x time reduction is based on and what your therapy offers over training guidance provided by her primary OB, which cannot he provided entirely virtually but doesn’t require such lengthy sessions. Perhaps this is more a service for acute issues and not proactive pelvic health? Glad to see more such services forming either way.
The 5x reduction is as opposed to postpartum recovery without any form of pelvic therapy or training as intervention.
Her primary OB does not offer Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy or anything like our Pelvic Training + Recovery. These are most often found at a PT or with a fitness trainer. Our methodology is proprietary and speeds up recovery with a targeted approach and 1:1 sessions—as opposed to videos, group sessions, or longer PT appointments that have low adherence due to a long time commitment.
We are for birthing people with acute issues! But we are also a great preventative option for those who never want to get there in the first place. Pelvic floor prolapse gets worse over time and with the birth of more babies by an individual.
We hope to make maternal healthcare better for every body—including your wife's!
