BIOGRAPHIES

 

Jane J. Bai *Ontario Provider

Jane J. Bai graduated from McGill University’s Physical Therapy Program & has been practicing as a Registered Physiotherapist in private practice settings in Toronto, Canada. Her interest in pelvic health stemmed from attending an elective course offered at McGill on Female Incontinence. Since then, she has continued her education by taking over ten additional courses related to pelvic health in men and women & attending international conferences to stay current in her evidence-based physiotherapy practice.

Early on, she saw a gap in knowledge amongst new moms suffering in silence with pelvic floor dysfunction & their understanding of how to manage their symptoms. In 2019, she conceived & gave birth to PelvicPro; which was meant to bridge that gap! She uses social media to re-package what she has learned in her pelvic floor courses & advocates for her profession in pelvic health physiotherapy. Then 2020 rolled along, and Jane was pregnant in the midst of a pandemic! Not exactly ideal… to say the least, but she saw the need for a safe & accessible virtual physiotherapy service for moms; hence the launch of Pelvicpro’s telerehab services during the 1st wave of Covid-19. In 2021, she & Cindy launched a YouTube Channel dedicated to body scan meditations for moms called ‘Body Scan with Jane’! PelvicPro’s mission is to educate and empower new moms from all over the WORLD to be ‘Pelvic Pros’ themselves and finally take control of their health and wellness!

She spearheaded & introduced a pelvic health physiotherapy program at eight different clinics across the greater Toronto area. Her training in pelvic floor dysfunction, with the Toronto-based company, Pelvic Health Solutions, has diversified her scope of practice in treating & assessing adults with urinary incontinence, persistent & complex pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual pain & dysfunction, tail-bone pain, gastro-intestinal disorders, chronic constipation, pre- and postnatal care, interstitial cystitis, diastasis recti abdominis, post-surgical and post-cancer care.

In her spare time, Jane is practicing yoga, going to the gym, playing tennis, listening to business podcasts, or hanging out with her favourite lil’ guy. When she was a kid, she wanted to be either a spice girl, a dermatologist, or a professional badminton player. She also loves to try new foods at hipster restaurants and currently is obsessed with Lake Inez, Badiali, White Lily Diner, & anything from Aida’s Bakery. She de-stresses through long walks outdoors, drumming, yoga, singing, and listening to new and classic R&B tracks.

 

 

Cindy Luo *Quebec Provider

Cindy Luo graduated from McGill University with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy and has been practicing in Montreal, Quebec since 2016. As a registered physiotherapist, she has worked closely with clients with different types of musculoskeletal injuries and has successfully helped them return to work, sports and leisure activities. At the same time, Cindy has a special interest in Parkinson’s disease and has taken additional courses aiming to improve the day-to-day function of those affected with this condition. She is a certified LSVT BIG® clinician in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, one of the few therapists with this expertise in Quebec.

Cindy first discovered about pelvic floor physiotherapy through an elective course offered by McGill on Female Incontinence. This made her realize that even as health care practitioners, how little we actually know about this field. This inspired her to continue her pelvic health education with the Microprogramme en Rééducation périnéale pelvienne at the University of Montreal. Where she has acquired skills in assessing and treating adults with urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, persistent & complex pelvic pain, sexual pain & dysfunction, tail-bone pain, pelvic girdle pain, pre-and postnatal care, diastasis recti abdominis, as well as, post-surgical and post-cancer care.

Inspired by the mission of Pelvicpro, at the end of 2019, Cindy joined the team to help develop educational content for French-speaking clients. With the hit of the COVID-19 pandemic, she started to offer virtual physiotherapy services for moms in need. Together with Jane, Cindy wishes to empower all moms with the right tools to take control of their health and improve their quality of life.

During her free time, Cindy enjoys cooking and likes to try new recipes. She’s an enthusiastic food explorer and frequently goes to explore different local restaurants. At the same time, she tries to stay in shape with regular workouts such as HIIT training, playing tennis, yoga, hiking and jogging. Cindy also loves music and played the piano and violin when she was a kid. Currently she is learning to play the ukulele.
