About Us
PelviNavigator is an educational website designed to facilitate access to, and engagement with, pelvic floor health information. The website has been developed as part of an academic research study led by a PhD research student at Oxford Brookes University.
Our aim is to make high-quality, evidence-based information on pelvic floor health accessible to women and individuals in their childbearing years. By exploring this site, you are helping us understand how people engage with online educational tools — so that we can improve access to reliable women’s health information in the future.
What We Do
PelviNavigator provides trustworthy, easy-to-understand information about the anatomy, physiology and function of the pelvic floor, symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, what to expect during pregnancy and childbirth, prevention and management strategies and how, when and where to seek help.
All information on this site is drawn from reputable public health sources such as the NHS, National Institute of Care and Excellence (NICE), and the Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP) society.
Who We Are
PelviNavigator was co-developed by researchers at Oxford Brookes University in collaboration with community representatives and healthcare professionals.
The website is managed by the Lead Researcher and Research Team at Oxford Brookes University. It is not a commercial enterprise — we do not advertise, sell products, or collect personal data. All activity on this site is anonymised and used solely for academic research purposes.
Our Research
This website forms part of a feasibility study exploring how educational tools can support pelvic floor health awareness and behaviour change. The study aims to:
- Assess whether the website is engaging and easy to use;
- Understand how users interact with online pelvic health resources;
- Inform the design of larger-scale research to improve women’s health education.
Participation in the study is entirely voluntary, and all data collected are anonymous and handled in accordance with UK GDPR and Oxford Brookes University research ethics.
