Progyny Adds Pelvic Floor Therapy, Continuing to Close Gaps in Care Across Women’s Health
With nearly one third of women impacted by pelvic floor disorders, expanded care access and education from Progyny will help eliminate the silent suffering
NEW YORK, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY), a global leader in women’s health and family building solutions, today announced that it is adding pelvic floor therapy to its comprehensive offering of women’s health and family building solutions. With the expansion of its network of specialty trained women’s health providers, and the addition of digital therapy, the company is further deepening its commitment to increasing the accessibility of specialized, timely care across the spectrum from preconception and maternal health to midlife and menopause.
One in three women experience pelvic floor issues, with one in five needing to undergo surgery to treat their pelvic floor disorder (UCM). While most commonly associated with postpartum care, pelvic floor complications impact women as early as young adulthood and span through menopause and later into life. When left untreated, not only can pelvic pain interfere with quality of life that can lead to reduced performance at work and absenteeism, but it can also result in avoidable health complications and increased downstream medical costs. For instance, conditions such as endometriosis and sexual dysfunction are linked to untreated pelvic health issues, which can lead to infertility.
“This is another moment when Progyny is stepping up to help women identify and seek care for basic health needs that are going undiagnosed and untreated due to lack of education, lack of care access, and lack of the right benefits coverage,” said Dr. Janet Choi, Progyny Chief Medical Officer. “By enabling access to specialty trained providers and offering educational support tools through a cost effective and comprehensive benefit, we are providing impactful clinical solutions as opposed to a ‘sweep it under the rug’ approach to women’s health.”
Virtual and In-Person Support Options for Treatment and Coaching
Progyny members will have expanded access to both in-person and virtual care options. Through this integrated and multi-pronged approach, members will benefit from earlier interventions for pelvic
conditions, reducing fragmentation, and helping avoid delays that could lead to higher acuity treatments, surgeries, or increased healthcare costs for employers. Urinary incontinence alone has been
associated with costing the healthcare industry $20 billion a year (NIH).
