We’re building the future of pelvic health, together. Huge thanks to Dr. Rebeca Seagraves @rebecasegraves_ and the Pelvic Health Network @pelvichealthnetwork for spotlighting what makes Origin’s model so powerful: expert, collaborative care that meets patients where they are. With our expansion into occupational therapy, we’re continuing to raise the standard of pelvic health care across the U.S.—and we’re hiring.

If it seems like a lot, it’s because it is! Pelvic floor physical therapy can help through every stage of life. ⁠ Dealing with any of these? We’ve got you covered. ⁠ ⁠

Have you been formally introduced to your pelvic floor yet? If you haven’t, that’s why we’re here. Your pelvic floor is a complex set of muscles, ligaments, tissues, and nerves that stretch like a hammock from the pubic bone to the tailbone and between the sit bones. These are the FIVE major functions of the pelvic floor: 💖 Sexual Function 💧 Bladder & Bowel Control 🪢 Circulation 🤝 Stability 🫂 Support

Let’s clear the air about GLP-1 meds and constipation. If you’re on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro and feeling bloated, backed up, or just off, you’re not alone. These meds slow digestion, which can trigger constipation even if you’re eating “right.” We asked our expert pelvic floor PTs what actually helps. Their answer: hydration, gentle movement, targeted fiber — and yes, pelvic physical therapy. PTs can retrain your muscles and restore the coordination your body needs to poop with ease (and no straining). Get the facts, feel better sooner.

Vacation constipation? Long-haul leaks? We’ve been there. ✈️ Whether you’re road-tripping, flying, or just away from your usual routine, travel can throw your pelvic floor off balance, especially if you’re sitting for hours, holding in pee, or skipping water to avoid public bathrooms. But with a few smart moves, you can stay ahead of symptoms like pelvic pain, urgency, or constipation. From hydration hacks to what to pack, our latest blog has everything you need to know to protect your pelvic health while traveling.

We’re proud to join the We Do Not Care Club — started by the brilliant @justbeingmelani — because we’re over the stigma, the silence, and the nonsense advice. We’re done pretending pelvic pain is just part of the deal.
Done treating incontinence like a punchline.
Done staying quiet to keep others comfortable. At Origin, we’re making space for real talk, real healing, and real support, no matter what you’re wearing, what day of your cycle you’re on, or how long it took to get here. You made it. We’re glad you did. #WeDoNotCareClub #PelvicHealth #EndTheStigma #RealTalkRealRelief

Pelvic health is finally having its moment — and we’re here for it. We’re proud to see our own PT Kimberlee Sullivan featured in the @nytimes, helping bring this crucial conversation into the mainstream. Pelvic health affects everyone, but stigma has kept too many people — including men — from getting care. That’s changing. Every article, every voice, every expert pushing this dialogue forward helps more people realize they’re not alone. At Origin, we treat male pelvic health with the same compassion and clinical excellence as every other patient — because everyone deserves to feel good in their body. And ICYMI, at Origin, we treat male pelvic health the same way we treat every patient — with clinical excellence, compassion, and a belief that no one should have to suffer in silence just because their symptoms are uncomfortable to talk about. Thank you @daniellefriedmanwrites for shining a light on a topic that’s long overdue 💡

But here’s the good news: pelvic floor physical therapy can help. Pre-operative pelvic PT (aka prehab) builds the foundation for better outcomes — improving dilation, supporting healing, and reducing pain. And after surgery, PT can help restore bladder and bowel function, reduce scar tissue discomfort, and improve sexual wellness. Wherever you are in your journey — before, during, or long after surgery — we’re here with expert, affirming care. 🏳️‍⚧️ Learn more or book at the link in bio.

June is National Cancer Survivors Month — and we’re raising awareness for what comes after treatment. Pelvic floor physical therapy can be a vital part of recovery for many survivors. It can help address pain, rebuild strength, and restore confidence in everyday activities, sex, and more. But too often, survivors are left to navigate those struggles alone. This Cancer Survivor Month, we’re proud to partner with @beseen.care and @fromcarpoolstochemo to raise awareness, celebrate care teams, and keep pushing for earlier detection and better recovery options. 👉 Explore our new resources on pelvic rehab and intimacy after cancer at the link in bio. #BeSeen #CancerSurvivorsMonth #PelvicPT #ColorectalCancer #CancerRecovery

Not all pelvic floor problems come from weakness.
 In fact, symptoms like leaking, painful sex, constipation, or heaviness are often caused by muscles that are too tight — not too loose. Dr. Jada Meadows (@ Origin West Hollywood) breaks down one of the biggest pelvic floor myths and shares the first step to relief: stop holding your breath. Your muscles (and your bathroom habits) will thank you. 🗣️ Got questions? Drop them below.
