Empowering you to take an active role in maintaining and improving your pelvic health.

getUBetter is working in partnership with the NHS to provide you with safe digital support for women’s pelvic floor health. The getUBetter app encourages you to take an active role in maintaining and improving your pelvic health, giving you the knowledge and confidence to understand it all.

getUBetter is part of your local NHS routine care for women’s pelvic floor health. It has been locally configured and approved by your clinicians to match their guidance. Pelvic health is important and requires our attention of all times. Your clinicians can’t be with you 24/7 but getUBetter is accessible 24/7, at home, work, and on the go.

Self-care empowers you to take an active role in maintaining and improving your pelvic health, which is important, especially during pregnancy, after birth, and around perimenopause and menopause. The getUBetter app gives you the confidence to manage your pelvic floor health at all stages, as well as any help you to manage any developing symptoms and live well with a pelvic health problem.
