PelvicPath vs Medbridge: which one fits a small pelvic clinic

Medbridge is built for rehabilitation teams that want one prescribing and education library across every caseload in the building, while PelvicPath is built for the pelvic therapist who needs to know what got done between Tuesday and the visit two weeks later.

The short answer

Medbridge is built for rehabilitation organizations that want one prescribing and education library covering every caseload in the building. PelvicPath is built for a pelvic clinic where one or two therapists carry the whole list and the real problem is the fourteen days between visits. If you treat shoulders and knees alongside pelvic floor, the broader library earns its place. If your caseload is postpartum, prolapse, urgency and pelvic pain, and you keep guessing at adherence, a tool that logs each day and flags symptoms will change more of your visits than a bigger catalog will.

PelvicPath and Medbridge side by side

Each row compares one part of the pelvic home program job: who writes the program, what the patient sees on her phone, what comes back to you between visits, how it sits beside your documentation, and what it costs per therapist each month.
What you are decidingPelvicPathMedbridge
Who it is built forSolo and two therapist pelvic clinics, where one person writes the program and reads the follow up.Rehabilitation organizations across orthopedics, neurology, sports and other outpatient caseloads.
Scope of the contentPelvic floor, core, breathing and bladder retraining work, kept deliberately small.Broad rehabilitation content spanning many body regions and clinical specialties.
What happens between visitsDaily completion logging and symptom flags from the patient, summarized before her next visit.Designed primarily around delivering the program and patient education rather than a single caseload reporting loop.
Setup effortTemplates for common pelvic presentations, so a first program takes a few minutes.A larger library and more configuration, which suits a clinic with someone to own setup.
Language the patient seesWritten for pelvic symptoms including leakage, urgency, pressure and pain with penetration.General rehabilitation language written to cover a wide range of conditions.
Fit with your documentationSits beside your chart as a between visit record you can paste into a progress note.Suits clinics that want prescribing and education inside a broader platform footprint.
Who it suits at scaleOne or two therapists tracking a personal pelvic caseload they know by name.Multi discipline teams standardizing content and training across locations.
Price shapeFlat monthly by therapist count: Solo Therapist $45, Two Therapist $95, Clinic $189.Priced as a broader platform; confirm current terms with them directly.

On the right is the kind of tool Medbridge is and the job it is shaped around, rather than a list of what it includes at any given price. Software shifts month to month, so read their own pages before you commit. PelvicPath is published by MLJ, SASU and this page is written by Jimenez Julien.

Choose PelvicPath when

  • If your caseload is almost entirely pelvic and general rehab templates keep producing programs that are far too long.
  • When you are the only person reading follow up and want a caseload list you can scan in five minutes on Monday.
  • If visits sit two or three weeks apart and week two is where the postpartum program usually dies.
  • When you want a flag on urgency, leakage or pain with penetration to reach you between visits rather than at the next one.

Choose Medbridge when

  • If your clinic treats shoulders, knees and backs alongside pelvic floor and you want one library for all of it, Medbridge is the broader fit.
  • If you want staff education and patient content organized in the same place, that is the shape Medbridge is built around.
  • If a larger organization standardizes content across several sites, a platform built for that scale serves you better than a single caseload tool.

What each product assumes about your week

Medbridge assumes a clinic with a range of caseloads and someone whose job includes keeping content and training organized. That is a reasonable assumption for a multi therapist rehab practice. It is a poor fit for a pelvic clinic where the same person does the internal exam, writes the program, answers the message about dilator size and reconciles the superbill before dinner.

PelvicPath assumes the opposite. You have thirty to sixty active patients, most spaced two or three weeks apart, and you cannot hold in your head who is doing quick flicks daily and who stopped after one bad night of urgency. The product is shaped around reading your own list quickly, not around administering content for other people.

Adherence you can see instead of adherence you ask about

Asking a postpartum patient at minute two whether she did her program produces a polite answer, not information. She says mostly, and you spend the next six minutes reconstructing dosage, position and what happened on the days she skipped. That reconstruction is where treatment time goes, visit after visit.

A daily log answers it before she arrives. You can see that she completed five of the last fourteen days, that the gap started the night she flagged urgency, and that she reported pain with the second dilator. You walk in with a plan instead of an interview, and the visit starts where it should.

Using a broad library and a pelvic loop together

Plenty of clinics keep a general rehabilitation library for their orthopedic caseload and run pelvic patients through PelvicPath. The two are not in conflict because they answer different questions. One helps you build the program, the other tells you whether it survived contact with a newborn, a full time job and a bad week.

If you do run both, pick one home for the pelvic program and stay there. Two versions of the same exercise list confuse a patient more than any missing feature ever will, and the confused patient is the one who quietly stops.

Questions people ask before they choose

Does PelvicPath replace a general exercise library?

Not for a mixed caseload. PelvicPath carries pelvic floor, core, breathing and bladder retraining work, kept small on purpose so a program stays short enough to finish. If you also treat rotator cuffs and knees, keep a general library for those and use PelvicPath for the pelvic list.

Can I use my own exercise videos?

Yes. Many pelvic therapists film their own cueing for down training or a dilator progression because the words matter more than the picture. You can attach your own instruction to a program item and the daily log behaves the same way.

Which fits better if I am adding a second therapist this year?

PelvicPath has a Two Therapist tier at $95 and a Clinic tier at $189, so growing from one to two does not mean starting over. Medbridge is the safer answer if that second hire is an orthopedic therapist and you expect a mixed caseload rather than a pelvic specialty clinic.

A comparison table reads differently once your own postpartum and pelvic pain patients are in it. On a short call we build a three item program for a case you are treating this week, then show what the daily log and the between visit summary look like fourteen days on.
