GoTo Telemed, the nation’s leading integrated telehealth ecosystem serving over 10 million patients nationwide, today announced the launch of its dedicated Pelvic Floor Therapy Program, a comprehensive virtual care service designed to provide evidence‑based pelvic floor muscle training, real‑time biofeedback, and structured home exercise for patients with urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and other pelvic floor disorders. Delivered by a specialized network of pelvic floor physical therapists, women’s health specialists, and behavioral health coaches, the program expands access to first‑line conservative care for one of the most common and undertreated conditions affecting women and men across the country.

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) affect nearly one out of every three women nationwide. An estimated 43 million women will experience some form of pelvic floor dysfunction over the next two decades. These conditions include chronic pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and bowel dysfunction—conditions that can lead to long‑term disability, depression, and significant loss of quality of life. Despite pelvic floor muscle training being recommended as a first‑line, non‑invasive treatment, access to specialists is severely limited. Patients often face months‑long wait times, a shortage of pelvic health physical therapists, geographic barriers, and the stigma associated with these highly personal conditions. GoTo Telemed’s program removes these barriers by bringing expert pelvic floor care directly into patients’ homes through secure, discreet telehealth consultations.

“Pelvic floor disorders are among the most common health issues we see, yet they are also among the least discussed and most underserved,” said a GoTo Telemed spokesperson. “Many patients suffer in silence, unaware that effective, non‑surgical treatment exists and can be delivered through telehealth. Our Pelvic Floor Therapy Program makes first‑line conservative care accessible, convenient, and private. With real‑time video guidance from board‑certified pelvic floor physical therapists and optional biofeedback devices, patients can complete short, guided therapy sessions in the privacy of their homes—without long commutes, scheduling conflicts, or the fear of office visits.”

Ground‑Level Evidence: Telehealth Pelvic Floor Therapy Matches In‑Person Outcomes

The program is built on a robust body of emerging evidence showing that remote pelvic floor therapy achieves results comparable to in‑person care.

A 2025 pilot randomized controlled trial of a 4‑week telehealth pelvic health physical therapy program for postpartum women with stress urinary incontinence found that the telehealth group achieved comparable symptom improvements to the in‑person group, with 85%‑100% of telehealth patients rating their care as “good” and the investigators concluding that the program was both feasible and acceptable.

A 2025 randomized trial that compared telehealth‑delivered pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to an education‑only teleconsultation reported a “statistically and clinically significant improvement on the ICIQ‑SF” (mean 6.2 ± 2.7 in the PFMT arm vs. 12.5 ± 3.2 in the education arm; p
