Owen Mumford Launches Empelvic in Malaysia
The Empelvic Cushion: A simple, non-invasive solution for pelvic health challenges
Malaysia, 13th December 2024 – Owen Mumford proudly announces the launch of Empelvic® in Malaysia, marking the second country in the Asia Pacific region where the product is now available. Following its successful introduction in Singapore, Empelvic is now accessible to healthcare professionals and patients across Malaysia, reinforcing Owen Mumford’s commitment to providing innovative pelvic health solutions throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Designed as an ergonomic, tactile tool, Empelvic helps users connect with and engage their pelvic floor muscles by sitting for as little as 5 minutes a day, making at-home pelvic health training more accessible and effective. Addressing common pelvic health conditions such as vaginismus and stress incontinence, the cushion bridges the gap between in-clinic therapy and continued at-home care. Since its initial launch in Denmark in 2017 and subsequent expansion to Germany, United Kingdom, and Singapore, Empelvic has empowered over 50,000 users and received the prestigious Danish Design Award in 2020 in the ‘Healthy Life’ category.
The Problem: Addressing Pelvic Health Challenges
Pelvic health conditions affect millions worldwide, yet effective, non-invasive treatment options remain limited. In Asia, where pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is often considered taboo or embarrassing, seeking treatment can feel overwhelming. Simple verbal or written instructions may not be adequate preparation for patients beginning a manual exercise program, and many individuals struggle to identify or engage their pelvic floor muscles—a critical first step in addressing pelvic floor dysfunctions.
Relying solely on in-clinic training poses additional challenges. Sessions alone may be inadequate, as patients often forget key exercises and lack the tools to stay motivated and engaged in their rehabilitation. Physiotherapists emphasize the importance of combining professional guidance with continued at-home training, highlighting the critical need for accessible tools that empower patients to maintain and build on their progress outside the clinic.
The Solution: Empelvic Cushion – Redefining Pelvic Health Therapy
The Empelvic cushion provides an innovative, non-invasive solution for managing pelvic health conditions. Designed with input from healthcare professionals, the cushion helps users locate, relax, and strengthen pelvic floor muscles through tactile feedback.
This versatile training tool supports a wide range of applications, including:
• Strengthening muscles to manage urinary incontinence.
• Relaxing hypertonic pelvic floors for conditions like vaginismus.
• Supporting antenatal preparation and postpartum recovery.
• Alleviating erectile dysfunction.
Physiotherapists can seamlessly integrate the Empelvic cushion into both clinical and home-care settings, empowering patients to progress in their recovery journey with confidence and convenience. It serves as an ideal adjunct treatment to complement physiotherapists' treatment sessions, including pilates, antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy, and men's health physiotherapy.
Advancing Accessibility in Pelvic Health
Since its debut in Denmark in 2017, the Empelvic cushion has empowered over 50,000 users worldwide and was honored with the prestigious Danish Design Award in the "Healthy Life" category in 2020. Designed for both men and women, its ergonomic and sustainable design fosters muscle awareness, relaxation, and gentle strengthening.
Empelvic joins Owen Mumford’s established pelvic health range under its parent brand, Clariti, which includes Amielle® vaginal dilator for conditions like vaginismus and dyspareunia, and Rapport Classic vacuum pump for erectile dysfunction. Together, these products address the diverse needs of individuals managing pelvic health challenges.
Empelvic in Asia Pacific: A Milestone in Pelvic Health Innovation
The launch of the Empelvic cushion in Malaysia and across Asia Pacific underscores Owen Mumford’s dedication to advancing pelvic health therapy. By bridging the gap between professional physiotherapy guidance and accessible at-home training, the Empelvic cushion redefines how pelvic health conditions are managed in the region.
