About the roleAs an Orthopedic Physical Therapist at Origin, you are a core member of the Clinical Patient Care team and an important part of our whole-body approach to women's health.
You provide high-quality orthopedic and musculoskeletal physical therapy while working in close collaboration with Origin's pelvic health physical therapists. Together, you address the interconnected orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and pelvic health needs of women across all ages and stages of life.
Your care may support patients experiencing musculoskeletal conditions throughout adolescence and adulthood, as well as during pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, aging, and other life transitions.
Your work involves direct patient care, collaboration with pelvic health and other clinicians, patient education, and participation in a positive and supportive clinic environment. You will evaluate and treat orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions while recognizing when pelvic health factors may contribute to a patient's symptoms, function, or recovery.
You will collaborate with pelvic health physical therapists when patients would benefit from integrated care, helping create a seamless experience rather than treating orthopedic and pelvic health concerns in isolation.
As an Orthopedic Physical Therapist at Origin, you are responsible for:- Delivering high-quality, evidence-based orthopedic and musculoskeletal physical therapy care
- Performing comprehensive orthopedic evaluations and creating individualized plans of care
- Treating musculoskeletal conditions involving the spine and extremities, including pain, mobility limitations, weakness, injury, post-operative rehabilitation, and return to activity

- Recognizing the relationship between orthopedic and pelvic health conditions and identifying when collaboration with a pelvic health physical therapist may improve patient outcomes
- Collaborating with pelvic health physical therapists to develop coordinated plans of care for patients with overlapping orthopedic and pelvic health needs
- Referring internally to pelvic health physical therapists when specialized pelvic floor evaluation or treatment is indicated
- Coordinating treatment progression and goals when a patient is receiving care from both orthopedic and pelvic health clinicians
- Helping patients safely return to the activities that matter to them, including work, exercise, recreation, caregiving, athletics, and daily life
- Educating patients about their condition, treatment options, movement, exercise, injury prevention, and self-management
- Progressing plans of care based on patient outcomes, functional goals, and clinical judgment
- Completing documentation in a timely and compliant manner
- Collaborating with clinic coordinators and the broader care team to provide an exceptional patient experience
- Participating in team huddles, mentorship, case collaboration, and professional development
- Supporting a welcoming and inclusive environment for patients and teammates
What you'll achieve At Origin, we recognize that the body does not operate in separate systems. Musculoskeletal and pelvic health conditions frequently intersect, and patients benefit when clinicians work together.
An orthopedic patient experiencing low back, hip, pelvic, abdominal, or lower-extremity symptoms may benefit from pelvic health expertise. Similarly, a pelvic health patient may benefit from orthopedic expertise to address strength, mobility, movement, pain, injury, or return to higher-level activity.
The Orthopedic Physical Therapist will actively collaborate with pelvic health clinicians to identify these opportunities and provide coordinated care.
Our goal is simple:
the right care, from the right clinician, at the right time, with a team that sees the whole person.Your work will:
- Improve the lives of women experiencing orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and overlapping pelvic health concerns
- Expand access to comprehensive physical therapy across all ages and stages of life
- Help patients move from pain or limitation toward strength, confidence, function, and the activities they value
- Create stronger continuity between orthopedic and pelvic health physical therapy
- Help normalize integrated musculoskeletal and pelvic health care as an important part of women's healthcare
- Contribute to a clinic that runs smoothly, treats more patients, and delivers excellent outcomes and patient experiences
