Fix your movement. Fix your body. Your body doesn't have to hold you back. Stop leaking, resolve pain, relieve pelvic pressure - or train to prevent it from ever showing up. iCORE Method is a fascia-based pelvic floor and full body training app built by Courtney Virden - a pelvic floor and movement specialist with 25+ years of expertise. Featured in Well+Good, Self, Healthline, and Nike. Most programs train only muscles. iCORE Method trains your whole body - muscles, fascia, and nervous system, feet to head - so results carry over into real life, movement improves, and your body learns to work the way it was designed to. The stability ball is central to almost every session. Training on an unstable surface sends constant feedback through your fascia to your nervous system - triggering whole body adaptation that carries over when you sneeze, lift, run, and move. Training that reduces injury risk and prevents issues from showing up in the first place. Fix Your Movement. Fix Your Body. PELVIC FLOOR AND CORE RECOVERY Two tracks. Every level. RECOVERY TRACK For women dealing with: - Bladder leakage and urge incontinence - Prolapse, pelvic heaviness and pressure - Diastasis recti - Back pain and hip tightness - Pelvic pain and painful intimacy - Constipation and bowel dysfunction - Postpartum weakness - recent or decades ago PERFORMANCE TRACK For women without moderate to severe dysfunction who want to take their training to an advanced level - with greater instability, challenging movements, and full intensity.

Most wellness apps tell you what to take. Herbly asks how you feel - and builds something made entirely for you. Herbly is a modern apothecary in your pocket. Powered by AI and grounded in centuries of botanical tradition, it translates the way you feel into research-informed herbal remedies, complete with specific herbs, dosages, preparation methods and honest safety notes. YOUR AI HERBAL CONSULTANT Describe what you are experiencing in plain language. Herbly's consultant draws on a curated knowledge base to craft a personalised remedy: herbs chosen for your situation, preparation instructions, timing guidance and clear cautions. 250+ HERBS, EACH WITH A GROWING GUIDE Explore detailed profiles covering traditional uses, active compounds, preparations and known interactions - and a complete growing guide for every herb in the library: climate, soil, light, watering, propagation, harvest window, drying and storage. Whether you buy your herbs or grow them on a windowsill, the whole path is here. THE FORMULA LIBRARY Hundreds of step-by-step formulas across teas and infusions, tinctures and syrups, kitchen apothecary, workout and recovery, body and skin care, and morning-after recovery. Every formula lists ingredients, method, dose, what it is for, why it works and who should avoid it. THE APOTHECARY BAR A category of herbal mixed drinks unlike anything on a normal cocktail list - built from infusions, oxymels, shrubs, fat-washes and bitters rather than bottled liqueurs. This section contains alcohol and is intended for adults of legal drinking age. THE COMMUNITY Share your own recipes and results, swap tips, comment and cheer each other on. Every post is screened before it appears, one tap reports or blocks anything you would rather not see, and optional PIN-protected parental controls can switch the Community off entirely. THE BLEND LAB Formulate your own blends from scratch and watch their elemental balance - earth, fire, water, air - shift in real time as you build. INVITE FRIENDS, EARN PREMIUM Share your personal invite code through any app on your phone. Three friends unlocks a week of Premium, ten unlocks a month, twenty-five unlocks three months, and one hundred unlocks a full year plus a permanent Founder badge. THE AURA SCAN Begin each day with a quiet, personalised reading of your current balance and a gentle nudge toward what your body and mind might need. BUILT RESPONSIBLY Every remedy, herb profile and formula includes a Sources and Citations section with links to NIH, WHO and peer-reviewed research. Age verification and optional PIN-protected parental controls are built in. Herbly is educational and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. HERBLY PRO Herbly Pro unlocks the full herb library, unlimited AI consultations, detailed safety information and the personalised wellness calendar. It is available as an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription, and can be earned free through the referral programme. Your practice starts here.
