About Origin

We’re on a mission to help all women and individuals with vaginal anatomy feel their best, at every stage of life. We offer physical therapy for the pelvic floor and whole body, treating commonly overlooked health issues related to pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and sexual health. If left untreated, these issues impact both physical and mental health. Physical therapy is clinically proven to have life-changing results — we’re proud to have helped over 30,000 patients build strength and confidence in their bodies. We are mentoring the next generation of pelvic floor PTs by connecting students with our expert clinicians for unparalleled learning and skill development. 

About the internship / clinical rotation

We are looking for curious and passionate students who are in their final year of their doctorate of physical therapy (DPT) program and looking to complete their clinical rotation in pelvic health. As a student intern at Origin, you can expect to shadow, co-treat with your clinical instructor, be mentored throughout, and apply your learned hands-on skills to the treatment of pelvic health patients. We accept applications for students within their final year of their program, who are interested in a pelvic health internship for a duration of 8-16 weeks. This is an excellent opportunity to shadow, learn, and be mentored in the specialty of women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy. 

Patient Population

While Origin is an organization that focuses on women and those with vaginal anatomy, we do treat patients of all genders. Incorporation of patient cases beyond cisgender women’s pelvic health into your clinical rotation depends on if your clinical instructor treats the male patient. We treat a variety of obstetric and gynecological conditions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and general outpatient orthopedics.

What Makes Us Different

While each position may demand distinct skills and qualifications, we operate as a unified team, driven by our shared core values.  At Origin, we're all about creating a safe and supportive haven within our community. We’re a growing team of hardworking and passionate individuals who integrate the following values into our everyday practices:

• Own it. We show up with our best work. We’re creative, focused, proactive, and get the details right. 
• Go big. We have a big vision for women’s health and are energized by our potential impact. We act with urgency, yet remember it’s a long game. 
• Stretch. Growth can be uncomfortable and progress isn’t always linear. We create a safe space for honest learning, taking risk, and understanding failure.
• Be generous. We’re kind, high integrity, and assume the best. We celebrate wins and build each other up.
