Bridging the Gap Between Healthcare and Fitness
Building a World-Class Clinical Advisory Board - Pvolve’s Clinical Advisory Board (CAB), made up of
seasoned medical doctors and experts, including Dr. Amy Hoover, Dr. Nima Alamdari, and Dr. Suman Tewari collaborate to create workouts, advise on equipment and
develop new products. Together, they are helping us to ensure
that the Pvolve Method is rooted in science and research.
Currently Pvolve's trusted team of experts are going through
multiple clinical trials, including three with the University of
Exeter in the UK, a top 10 globally ranked university in sports
related subjects. The studies will focus on muscle recovery
strategies as well as the impact of the method on young and
older adults; slated for completion in 2025. Most recently,
preliminary results in a University of Minnesota clinical study
of adults with chronic lower back pain showed that 12 weeks of
the Pvolve Back Strengthening Series workout (whole body
low-intensity exercises that focus on the pelvic floor and
strengthening the core): significantly reduced pain, improved
body awareness and strength and reduced fearful avoidance of
movement. Lower back pain is an ailment that up to 80% of Americans will develop in their lifetime, with up to 15-20% of adults reporting it in an average year.
'Prescribing Pvolve’ Pilot Program - While
Pvolve is not a medical treatment that requires a
prescription, Dr. Amy Hoover, Founding
Pvolve CAB member and Resident Physical Therapist specializing
in pelvic health, is spearheading a pilot program with a network
of doctors throughout the U.S. whereby they recommend Pvolve’s
Movement Therapy programming to patients as part of their
continuous care treatment plan. “Many people are failed by the
healthcare system when it comes to fitness, movement and
exercise. They are told to exercise, but then not guided on what
works best for their specific body. I love this method because
it not only helps to restore proper muscle balance and
biomechanics, but also teaches people about how their body
works. Pvolve connects them to their own body and helps them
identify their own specific needs, which empowers them to help
restore themselves through movement. I use this method to
complement treatments for my patients,” says Dr. Hoover.
Partnerships in Healthcare - As part of
its mission to help 30 million women move better and live better
by 2030, Pvolve is partnering with top healthcare brands such as
Ovia Health, Spring Fertility, Medicare Fitness Programs, Amazon
Halo, Integrative Institute for Nutrition and Sugarbreak.
Together, they are providing holistic solutions and resources
for women, while making the Pvolve Method more accessible to
those who need it most.
Introducing a New Category of Fitness: As
part of the mission to elevate what women can expect from their
fitness routine, Pvolve launched Movement Therapy, a new
category of workouts developed by expert Trainers in
collaboration with the Clinical Board. These programs deliver
strong, balanced and resilient physiques, while also addressing
the pain points and sensitivities that patients and members
commonly experience. This includes female-specific need-states,
such as pelvic floor health, managing symptoms related to
menstrual cycle, workouts for pre and post natal, and managing
with endometriosis. It also addresses everyday aches and pains
related to knees, hips, back, wrists and more.
Accelerating Recovery: Pvolve believes
that daily, functional movement is necessary for a woman to live
a healthy and sustainable life. Understanding that muscle
recovery is a critical component to the ability to move daily
with ease, Pvolve is launching a great-tasting, easy to use, and
scientifically-backed powdered recovery solution, Recover 9, to enable members to recover faster and experience less
muscle soreness. The formulation was developed in partnership
with scientists and includes all nine essential amino acids and
pomegranate fruit extract. This first-of-its-kind blend is
sourced from best-in-class ingredients and manufacturers, is
vegan, sugar-free, non-GMO, contains no artificial flavors, and
is free of gluten and all major allergens. Recover 9 joins
Pvolve’s pre-existing proprietary product line up, including
the P.ball, P.band, and P.3 Trainer.
Member Advisory Board: With a strong
legacy of using member feedback to drive key business decisions,
Pvolve appointed an official Member Advisory Board comprised of
brand advocates globally. The Board meets virtually every month
and uses WhatsApp daily to communicate and share feedback with
Pvolve Leadership. The Board is charged with bringing the voice
of the member to the team so that member feedback is
consistently represented and prioritized across the business.
