Pelvic Support Physiotherapy

What Pelvic Support Physiotherapy does

Pelvic Support Physiotherapy is a privately held, single-location physiotherapy clinic founded in 2003 in Ottawa, Ontario, specializing exclusively in pelvic floor and pelvic health conditions. The clinic is owned and operated by Registered Physiotherapist Krista Cochrane, who took over ownership in June 2018. It employs eight pelvic floor therapists with continuous specialized training in pelvic health, supported by reception and office management staff, delivering all treatments in private rooms with the same assigned therapist for continuity of care.

The clinic's service portfolio covers urinary incontinence, bowel dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse (including pessary fitting), chronic pelvic pain conditions, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, sexual dysfunction, men's pelvic health, transgender and gender-diverse care, and blocked milk duct treatment using therapeutic ultrasound. Core technologies are clinical-grade modalities — biofeedback sensors, electrical stimulation, manual therapy/myofascial release, therapeutic ultrasound, and pelvic floor muscle training protocols — rather than software or digital platforms. The clinic also runs a small-group Pilates for Pelvic Health series (6–8 participants, six-week, $300 total) and adjunct massage/athletic therapy services.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service model with no physician referral required for most services. Patients self-book through Jane App online booking, pay out-of-pocket via cash, cheque, Interac, Visa, or MasterCard, and submit receipts to extended health insurers (direct billing available only for Medavie Blue Cross). Marketing relies on the company's website, word-of-mouth, and professional referral pipelines generated by staff teaching other healthcare providers. The clinic reports no funding rounds, no app or API, no patents or trademarks, and no formal partnerships — operating as a lifestyle private practice rather than a venture-scale business.

Others

• Pelvic Health Solutions: Canadian pelvic health education and training provider for physiotherapists. Operates in the same pelvic health category and influences the same clinical talent pool, but as a continuing-education partner rather than a treatment provider.
• Elvie: Consumer brand selling connected pelvic floor exercisers and related products. Adjacent to the same clinical category, shaping consumer awareness and potentially channeling (or diverting) patients into or away from professional pelvic floor physiotherapy.
• Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute: Leading pelvic floor rehabilitation education and certification institute for physical therapists. Shapes clinical standards and training pipelines in the same specialty, enabling both competition for talent and credentialing partnerships.

Regional players

Broad incumbents

• CBI Health: One of Canada's largest physiotherapy and rehabilitation networks with pelvic health services across many clinics. National footprint and payer relationships make it a broad incumbent in the same clinical category.
• Lifemark Health Group: Large Canadian rehabilitation chain offering pelvic health among many PT services. Broad incumbent across multiple provinces with scale advantages in marketing and insurance contracting that a single-location specialist lacks.
• Foundation Health: Canadian physiotherapy chain with multiple clinics offering women's health and pelvic floor services. Operates at greater scale within similar patient segments in overlapping Canadian geographies.
• Centric Health: Canadian healthcare services provider offering physiotherapy and rehabilitation across multiple sites. Provides overlapping clinical services with the backing of larger corporate infrastructure.

Emerging players

• MUTU System: Direct-to-consumer online pelvic health program. Targets the same postpartum and pelvic floor patient population with a lower-cost digital alternative, representing a different delivery model competing for the same end users.

Direct peers
