“There are such amazing OTs who have the training, but not always places to practice in the pelvic health world.”

What happens when 1.3 million women undergo major abdominal surgery—and are sent home without a rehab plan?
As a physical therapist, I’ve seen firsthand how many women are left to recover from C-sections, hysterectomies, prolapse, and pelvic pain on their own. Despite the fact that pelvic floor rehab is one of the most effective, low-risk, and evidence-backed treatments in women’s health, it’s still treated like a luxury—out of reach for far too many.
But one company based in Los Angeles is changing that.
Co-founded by Carine Carmy, Origin delivers in-person care across seven states and has built a nationwide pelvic health model offering virtual physical therapy in all 50 states—covered by insurance. The result? High-quality, evidence-based care that’s financially accessible to more women.
“A typical cash-based pelvic health visit can cost between $200 and $300,” Carmy explains. “At Origin, the average patient pays just $22 with insurance.”

From her own decade-long struggle with pelvic pain to finally receiving a diagnosis and resolution in just two months, Carmy knows firsthand how powerful—and elusive—this care can be. That experience fueled her vision to make pelvic health care not just accessible, but available when it’s most needed—so women aren’t left waiting and suffering in silence.
Now, Origin is taking that vision even further by adding occupational therapy to its care team.
This move marks a major milestone in the evolution of pelvic health care. Occupational therapists bring specialized training in functional recovery, sensory integration, emotional regulation, and reintegration into daily life—essential components of healing that often go unaddressed in standard medical care.
“We have a national, virtual care network of providers who are licensed across the country and about 80% of what we treat can be treated fully virtually.”
Carine Carmy, CO-Founder and CEO of Origin
With OTs now part of its national virtual care network, Origin is making it possible for more patients to receive truly comprehensive care—from pain relief to reclaiming the routines and roles that matter most.
With a national virtual provider network, accessible pricing, and a commitment to whole-person care, Origin is offering a model that doesn’t just reduce symptoms—it helps patients understand their bodies and feel their best.
Origin is setting a new benchmark for what women’s health rehab can be—accessible, team-based, and timely. As more providers, systems, and payers take notice, the message is clear: pelvic health isn’t optional—it’s essential care, and it belongs in every woman’s recovery plan.
