Pelvic pain and dysfunctions are common, but they are not normal. Bloom provides clinical-grade care for women’s pelvic health, from the comfort of home, with ongoing support from Pelvic Health Specialists. Developed by experts, Bloom enables you to perform pelvic-health exercises. The Bloom Pod by Elvie connects to the app and provides real-time biofeedback. This allows you to see whether you are exercising correctly, as well as how effectively you are squeezing or elongating. Bloom app is a part of the Bloom ecosystem, and only Bloom members are able to fully access all features: - Exercise sessions: By connecting to the pod, you will access your individualized pelvic-floor and functional exercises. - Knowledge center: Access pelvic health education, lifestyle modifications, and cognitive behavioral strategies, developed by leading clinicians. - Chat with an expert: Your Pelvic Health Specialist (PHS) will listen closely and help you reach your goals. Message your PHS anytime, anywhere. Bloom is available through employers and health plans. We ask for permission to track Health app activity to correlate treatment results with step count metrics. ## Key features - Personalized pelvic-floor exercises - Real-time biofeedback with compatible device - Pelvic health education center - Direct messaging with Pelvic Health Specialists - Track treatment results with health activity ## Recent user reviews (5 of 5) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bloom-womens-pelvic-health/id1604379950/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Update *2024-06-11* UPDATE: I had an awesome call with the clinician I picked when I signed up. She was empathetic, listened to my concerns, and followed up internally with my feedback. She had the power to turn off notifications so I’m not hit with so many messages in the app. Turns out that was part of the problem with people seeming to “push” me. It was the system sending a message under their name. Now I’m only working with her and I have the space and privacy I need. I’ve done two sessions, and I’m optimistic this is going to help me. So my bottom line is this: While I shouldn’t have had to go through what I did, when I spoke up, I was treated well. So if you give this a try and you hit a problem, definitely let your clinician know. Mine was happy to help. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I signed up for this through my employer as a PT once recommended I get pelvic floor therapy. My experience was so horrid I quit before the first session with the device. First, the signup process requires you to indicate whether you have been sexually assaulted, and there’s no way to not answer if you’re uncomfortable revealing that. Then in the intake video call, they started recording me on Zoom without my permission, and I had to ask them to not do that. This is about very private and sensitive health information. How dare they record without first getting my permission? They also want to use your data for research, and I had to opt out, rather than opt in. Then, I ended up with multiple people nagging me with multiple text messages, as well as messages through the app, that my pod had just arrived, and when was I going to start using it? I’m reasonably comfortable with my body, but A. I have other things going on in my life, so just because something arrives in the mail doesn’t mean I can just drop everything to stick it up my crotch. B. I was sick, so I let them know that and said I would start when I felt better. At 9am I was messaged with sympathy. At six pm, the same person messaged again, demanding to know when I was planning to start so she could go look at my data. How absolutely creepy, intrusive, rude, and lacking in basic human empathy. I was lying on the couch with a fever, and she thinks her desire for me to stick a probe in my crotch so she can have data about my body is more important than my fever and exhaustion? Needless to say, I told them where to shove it. There was zero consideration for my privacy or level of comfort with inserting a device into a sensitive area of my body, and they allowed me absolutely no time to figure it out before harassing me with multiple messages. When I explained I was sick and they demanded a specific date I would start so they would know exactly when to go look at the data, it I felt like I had people staring up my crotch through an electronic device, impatiently demanding I insert it. Of course, at the end of their messages, they try to make their disrespectful pressure sound nice by saying “we’re all here cheering you on!”—with a bunch of emojis tacked on to make it sound like they really mean it. How utterly clueless can you be? I want some privacy and respect to go at a comfortable pace while I figure out how to put a foreign object into my body. Not a squad of people staring at my crotch pushing me to insert it. Maybe an exhibitionist would love their approach, but not me. I can’t begin to say how angry I am, and how violated I felt. I find this program very unsupportive and unethical, and I will be complaining to my employer. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the app. Your feedback means a lot to us and helps us make the Sword experience even better for our members.

I would never have thought to go to a doctor or physical therapist for pelvic floor exercises, but this has been exactly what I needed to build strength post-babies. Hoping it helps for the long haul so I don’t have prolapse issues like so many older women I’ve heard of. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

Thanks for being a part of the Swordr community! ### 5/5 — Eye opening program! *2023-02-26, version 1.3.2* I’m beyond grateful to be able to utilize this program! As a woman who is still learning about pelvic floors, this program dives into much needed continuing education, tools, direct support, pelvic strengthening and release! I’m extremely impressed by the pod, connectivity, data and overall help. I’ve been able to see and feel my improvement during each session. Realizing I can feel connected to my pelvic floor has been life changing and I wish every individual with vaginal anatomy had the chance to use this in all aspects of their lives and the different stages of life. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
