iMEDicare – Pelvic Health Naturally are on a mission !
Our aim is to improve social and exercise mobility for people suffering from urinary incontinence.
You can learn more about understanding the stigma and impact on social mobility of urinary incontinence here:
“The stigma of incontinence is a serious issue. Stigma creates stress, and then worsens people’s ability to deal with the stressful situation. It can lead people to stop living their normal lives, leaving the house, and going about their day-to-day activities, causing them to become isolated and withdrawn. This might mean they are less active, in turn causing greater physical and mental health issues. It can also remove people from their social support networks, cutting them off from people who can help.”
Urinary incontinence (UI) is often (but not always) a geriatric syndrome that inhibits the maintenance of life-space mobility and its subsequent activities. Spaltenstein et al. indicated that older adults who experienced UI showed a 33 % lower odds ratio of going outdoors compared with those who did not.
Oftentimes the solution to enhanced social and exercise mobility is just knowing which device helps reliably in which social or mobility scenario – and how to access a reliable supply.

So what are we doing about it?
Since 2022 – iMEDicare has been raising funds for charitable organizations by climbing the national peaks of a number of European Nations. So far we have claimed the highest national peaks of Scotland, Wales, Ireland, England and Poland. In August 25th 2024, we aim to add Mt Mytikas in Greece – better known as Mount Olympus – home of the 12 Olympian Greek Gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus.) to the list. With an elevation of 2,917.727 m (9,572.60 ft) and grade lll scrambling for the last few hundred metres – not a feat for the faint hearted:

However, we’ve decided to go further and aspire to climb the national peak of EVERY EU nation by 2030 all in favour of our three favourite charitable concerns:
