Origin, a leader in pelvic floor physical therapy and comprehensive musculoskeletal care for women, has successfully raised Series B funding led by SJF Ventures. This financing round, supported by participation from Blue Venture Fund, Gratitude Railroad, the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, and various angel investors including Afton Vechery, Hannah Bronfman, and Peter Klatsky, aims to make pelvic floor health accessible to all women across the United States.

With approximately 41 million women in the U.S. experiencing pelvic floor conditions — which can range from minor inconveniences to life-altering issues — Origin’s mission is crucial in addressing a significant gap in women's healthcare. Women are statistically more prone than men to musculoskeletal health issues, and with over 50% experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, targeted physical therapy is essential for enhancing their quality of life.

A Unique Approach to Care
Origin offers not only in-person treatment through 19 clinics nationwide, but also virtual care that is fully covered by insurance. This dual approach allows for flexible treatment options tailored to each individual's needs. The average patient can benefit from the integrated platform, which combines clinical expertise with a bespoke digital experience featuring personalized exercise programs and continuous educational resources.

Statistics indicate that about one in three women suffers from pelvic floor dysfunction, with the prevalence rising post-55 years of age. Despite this, as shown in Origin's 2024 Pelvic Health Study, only 4% of women reporting symptoms have received a formal diagnosis. By transforming pelvic floor therapy from a niche service into a normative part of healthcare, Origin seeks to not only improve outcomes but also reduce the annual healthcare costs resulting from untreated conditions.

Beyond Access — Changing Lives
Origin's business model defies traditional healthcare norms by prioritizing affordability and accessibility. Since its inception in 2020, the company has provided services to over 50,000 patients and negotiated insurance support for about 50 million lives, enabling 95% of treatments to be administered in-network. Most patients spend less than $36 per visit, a stark contrast to the typical cash-pay model of $200-$300 per treatment session in the industry.

This approach promises timely treatment, with patients able to secure appointments within days rather than enduring the lengthy waits of traditional healthcare settings. Origin's clinics in cities like Austin and San Francisco have begun addressing nearly 1% of the local female population, demonstrating the significant demand and need for these services.

AI Integration for Enhanced Care
Integrating innovative technology, Origin has developed an AI-driven tool called Athena, which uses extensive patient interaction data to refine treatment protocols and manage operational efficiency. This tool assists clinicians in providing personalized, patient-centered care and improving overall outcomes, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. The company is committed to investing further in AI and clinical research to enhance its service delivery.

The Future of Pelvic Care
Recognizing the shortage of qualified pelvic floor therapists in the U.S., Origin is devoted to clinical training and mentorship through Origin University, which expanded its training capacity significantly in 2025. As the demand for specialized care rises, comprehensive training for physical therapists is essential to meet the evolving needs of women's health.

Perry Clarkson from SJF Ventures expressed optimism about the funding, emphasizing the transformative potential of Origin's hybrid model, which brings proven solutions to pelvic health issues right at the fingertips of women everywhere.

With over 10,000 doctors across the nation now referring patients to Origin, the healthcare system is beginning to recognize the invaluable role that pelvic floor physical therapy plays in women's health. Major health institutions also partner with Origin, ensuring patients receive both support and advanced care throughout critical phases of life.
