Origin Physical Therapy

Origin has been at the center of my healing and recovery before, during, and after endometriosis surgery!Every DPT practitioner I have seen has been extremely knowledgable, warm, empathetic, and brought top tier expertise and care!Each DPT provides hands-on work as well as exercise guidance. They also take thorough notes and share great research articles.The Origin platform is easy to navigate to schedule and view customized exercises and care plans.The branding and aesthetics are gorgeous both in the clinic and on their website! Beautiful pink and peach colors. Every employee is lovely and helpful! And very knowledgable about insurance benefits.Origin is a unicorn practice, as it’s hard to find DPT’s who are this specialized, and if you do they usually don’t work with insurance and cost hundreds of dollars per visit. It’s been extremely easy to navigate my insurance plan and copay thanks to how great the team is!

Saw Alexis for postpartum care and had an incredible experience! She was kind, knowledgeable, and created a safe environment. I couldnt more highly recommend Origin. A great office space, easy booking online, super kind front desk team, and great practitioners.

I started going to Origin a little over a month ago and have been working with Rasa on a few areas of concern. She is a great physical therapist that is patient and attentive. I always feel better when I leave and the home care stretches and exercises help greatly too. I’m grateful I found Origin and Rasa for pelvic floor PT! I recommend 10/10

Incredible facility with amazing staff. After years of sports injuries, I’m finally addressing core weaknesses and learning diagrammatic breathing to strengthen and prevent further injury. Learning so much about my body along the way - it’s amazing to go to a women’s focused practice. Rasa, my PT, is fantastic.

Great experience! I am currently 30 weeks pregnant and wanted help with my pelvic floor as well as labor prep and delivery. Origin showed me some breathing techniques I can use to help with my mild incontinence. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming here for postpartum PT. I feel assured that I can get assessed and know where I’m at in my recovery journey. My muscles feel noticeably stronger after doing the exercises Dr. Rasa prescribed me.The service by the front desk staff is also fantastic.10/10 would recommend.

I went for my first visit today and felt so safe and comfortable here! The environment is very calming and staff was great. Kayla explained everything clearly and straightforwardly and made sure that I understood what was happening and what she was going to do next. I felt like I was being listened to and treated as a person, not just a patient.

Amazing experience! I saw Madeline and she was so calm and answered all my questions! I’m pregnant with our first and she walked me through exercises and what to expect for pelvic exams! The studio is very cute cozy and clean! Recommend to anyone pregnant or not!

Excellent group of PTs and staff. Very professional. My PT figured out my challenges and what I needed to work on right away, and she made me feel comfortable through the whole process.

Im awaiting surgery for severe endometriosis and large fibroids, both of which have caused significant, constant pain in my hip through guarding and tightness of pelvic floor muscles on that side. What I thought was a glute issue caused by exercise has turned out to be primarily an issue originating with deep pelvic muscles. Dr. Madeline Manion has been great - though the underlying issue wont be addressed until the surgery, once a week therapy has reduced my pain by at least 50%. I also really appreciate how warm and professional she is in handling the sensitivities of pelvic PT. She emphasizes checking in and consent throughout in ways that are small but important for such a vulnerable therapy. Origin is in network for my insurance, so is a great deal, and the office is clean and bright. Front desk staff are pleasant and helpful.

Even though this place was out of network for me, i was able to navigate and have the pleasure to do PT here with alexis. especially because pt for women health has been so challenging to gain access to, i know i need this for myself.i was very pleasantly surprised on how easy booking was as well as how warm and friendly everyone is at origin.alexis is so compassionate and kind. i finally feel like i am being heard about my struggles as she helps me with better understanding and connecting the mental and physical dots in regards to the parts of the body in relation to the pain that i have been feeling.i got this.

Natalie is great. She’s a great teacher, very patient and provide clear instructions on how to progress and improve. I feel so prepared for birth because of her and would recommend her and origin to any person preparing for a vaginal birth.

Excellent for pelvic floor, recommended by my OB, easy to schedule!Kayla has been super helpful releasing my tail bone pain and with birth prep!

The Origin team is very helpful and kind. PT Kayla Mullarkey is a great listener, super respectful, and incredible caring. Very grateful to have found this practice.

As a first timer with pelvic floor PT, Origin could not have been a better place for. Dr. Madeline Manion has been incredibly thorough, kind, and really listens to my thoughts, needs, and history. She effortlessly makes me feel empowered and that I am also the expert when it comes to trying to understand my body. Very rare to find that in a doctor these days. Nicolette at the front desk has been very friendly, helpful, and inviting, too. Lastly, the atmosphere is so aesthetic and professional. It somehow makes it a pleasure to go.

Super helpful for pre-labor and delivery! They shared helpful tips for strengthening my pelvic floor and proper pushing techniques. Highly recommend.

The PT goddesses at Origin have unlocked new levels of vitality, healing and self love throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey. I can specifically speak to the divine feminine energy of Teresa, direct empowering guidance of Rasa and the calming down to earth vibes of Madeline. I am deeply indebted to these women, and the kind front desk staff, for inviting me to expand and brave new territories within my powerful, birthing body. Thank you so much, Origin!

Beautiful office with very kind front desk staff. Really enjoyed meeting my PT Kayla who gave me a lot of good tips for laboring and was super respectful the entire visit. Definitely plan on coming back closer to delivery

I have worked with several pelvic floor PT practices over the years and this one was by far the best. Natalie addressed my concerns in the context of my whole body--not just my pelvic floor--in order to improve my strength, coordination, and control. She and the whole staff are terrific.

Saw them before and after my pregnancy and theyve been really helpful all around! While I saw many therapists and they were all great, Natalie is my absolute favorite!

I have really appreciated the therapy I’ve received at Origin with Madeline for postpartum pelvic floor therapy. After 3 appointments I can already see a difference and am able to connect to my body so much more. The clinic is so comfortable, and you can experience how much they care and support women’s health, simply just in the waiting area.

Ive absolutely loved my care at Origin. Im seeing Emma most regularly, but have also seen Genevieve and Natalie. They are all fantastic at what they do. Pelvic PT could be a really uncomfortable thing, but I look forward to going. Whenever I go, I feel like Im going to a spa where I get to chat with fun, comforting people who truly know their stuff about pelvic issues in the perinatal period and make the experience therapeutic and relaxing. I plan to continue my care postpartum, and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for help with anything pelvis/pregnancy/womens health related! Im also a nurse-midwife, and refer all my clients to Origin.

Incredible people at Origin. I had no idea how impactful this type of physical therapy would be. They are so knowledgeable and have taught me about how to fix things that I’ve struggled with for years.

Origin Physical Therapy is an excellent choice for rehabilitation. The therapists are highly skilled, and the clinics design creates a welcoming ambiance. My only suggestion is to book your appointments early, as spots tend to fill up quickly. Overall, a fantastic place for therapy and recovery!

Alexis made me feel heard, validated, and supported throughout my time in pelvic floor PT

I saw Emma at Origin for a few months following the traumatic birth of my baby and cannot recommend her enough. She taught me so much about my body and pelvic floor and helped me to fully heal and get back to moving around freely. It took many sessions but was absolutely worth it, I wish all women could get a pelvic floor evaluation post-birth. So much focus is on the baby postpartum, but I loved going to Origin and spending some time focusing on just my wellbeing. Absolutely recommend, easy to book, nice office, everyone I met at Origin was lovely.

The care at Origin is exceptional and I look forward to every appointment!! My PT Natalie is amazing! She guides me really well on what exercises I need to do and how it needs to be done. She answers all the questions with details and patience. The space is super clean and very well decorated, it makes you feel so comfortable. Plus, they sorted out the insurance part so I could be covered for all appointments too. I couldn’t be more thankful for Natalie and Origin for helping me on my pregnancy and labor journey. And I’m sure they treat other patients with the same care. Highly recommend!!

This is a fantastic physical therapy practice! From the first minute you walk through the door, it is obvious that they deeply care for every aspect of your well-being. They do a great job of thoroughly explaining the exams/exercises and never pressure you to go any faster than your comfort levels.I also appreciate that they are still masking and taking COVID precautions seriously for in-person visits.

I tried multiple PTs before Origin. Kayla has been great!! Super patient and adapts our sessions based on my needs. Would definitely recommend Origin and Kayla!

Wow!!! I cant say enough positive things about Origin Physical Therapy and my PT (Elizabeth Miracle). Liz Miracle is a true gem, providing excellent care in such a critical space for women. I originally met Liz back in 2015 (before she worked at Origin) when I needed Pelvic Floor PT following the birth of my first child. Liz changed my life and made me feel confident again in my body. I sought Liz out again a few years after the birth of my second child for additional pelvic floor care and support. Ive been seeing Liz for a few months now and she is so great at working with me to fit exercises in my currently lifestyle and circumstances (which is always changing with 2 kids!) and looks at my body as a whole and not at individual parts that need to be fixed. Im so grateful to Liz and Origin for being such an integral part of my life and healing.

I had a wonderful experience at my in-person visit with Madeline. She was very gentle and kind, as well as very knowledgeable and engaged. She made me feel very comfortable and I left my appointment with a good plan to move forward with.

I am so thrilled to have found Origin Physical Therapy! As a doctor and mom, and someone deeply committed to practicing and teaching other forms of movement therapy, I was shocked to discover how little I knew about my pelvic floor. I had trouble delivering my first baby and wasnt able to push adequately, and knew I needed help to figure out how to make my second delivery go more smoothly. Additionally, I was experiencing urinary incontinence (especially when I sneezed or coughed) after giving birth - for years...I didnt realize incontinence after a delivery isnt normal!Origin has helped me tremendously with these *very common* problems. Its so disheartening to realize how many moms and women in general are walking around with pelvic health troubles without seeking help. Origin helped me with my incontinence in a matter of weeks, and now they are helping me prepare for delivery of my second baby. I know Ill be seeing them postpartum to help me heal! Its about time moms started caring for themselves, and Origin can help us do just that.The space is beautiful and calming, the staff is very welcoming and helpful, and the physical therapists are extremely kind and professional. I felt comfortable and at ease right away. They offer both in person and virtual care, which is so helpful for busy moms. They take insurance so its just a $10 copay for me. Ill be going twice a week until I deliver, and then probably will follow up after birth for a weekly appointment!

Origin is a true gem for women’s health and wellness! I’ve been working with Emma and she has made me feel respected, validated and comfortable at every appointment. The online platform makes scheduling and following my program super easy.

Love, love, love Origin! Have been coming since February and not only have been seeing improvement, but have genuinely enjoyed coming. The studio is cute and welcoming, and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Their online platform is also intuitive and easy to book though. Couldn’t recommend more!

Origin and the women there are truly incredible - Everything about this place makes the process of getting the help you need easier (except maybe the parking, but thats not their faults!). The front desk staff (Malia and Jane looking at you ladies!) is attentive and on top of booking and making sure youre not surprised by ANYTHING from your insurance companies, the PT support team is willing to stroller your baby around the office so you can get your exercises in, and the PTs are all so knowledgeable. From start to finish, it’s a great experience.

Rasa is the best!! I highly recommend this pelvic floor therapy center. My therapist was very skilled, patient and professional.

I cannot recommend Origin enough. If you’re having any issues with your pelvic floor, this is the place to come for a safe and supportive experience. The space is set up to feel comfortable and clean without being overly clinical. The staff is professional and knowledgeable about all bodies and experiences. Highly recommend.

I dont have the words to express how much I appreciate Anthony DPT and Julie DPT their view on physical therapy has been instrumental in improving the chronic pain Ive had in my shoulder for close to 6 months.Julies dry needling improved my shoulder mobility so much after the first session I had to give her a hug for making me feel better.Thank you so much for all that you do guysAnd Susie is an absolute gem at the front desk, her bright smile and personality always makes feel welcomed.

My whole experience has been phenomenal. I can’t express enough gratitude to Emma and the whole PT team. I do want to specifically call out the above and beyond treatment that Malia at the front desk has provided. From helping me navigate insurance, to navigating the portal (sidenote: is not linked anywhere on the website), to helping me reschedule, and most importantly being incredibly personable and kind during every interaction. I hope Origin uses her as a model of CX and she should be training others!

Origin PT has changed my life! I feel so much better after beginning treatment with Natalie, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! I wish this was required and free care for all bodies everywhere!

Origin PT (and Emma Kaeser specifically) is amazing. From the moment I arrived for my intake appointment to now, several sessions in, I have felt so respected, cared for, heard, and confident that the care I’m getting is exactly what I need. Don’t wait for an injury or issue to go, especially since they take insurance and you might only have a little copay for a big result!

Like so many women, I was completely surprised by my c-section and associated recovery - I had no idea how to care for myself, how to massage out my painful scar tissue, or how to engage my core to build back stronger. My mid-section was so tender and sensitive, I was holding myself hostage from things I used to enjoy, and thankfully, this is when I found Morgan. She has been an absolute dream come true - after just a few sessions with her, I felt like I got my body back. Shes gentle in her demeanor but tough on scar tissue... Shes also incredibly knowledgeable about the pelvic floor and all things postpartum, without making any of it seem scary or intimidating. I cannot recommend her more!

I love the care that Ive gotten from Origin, from friendly front desk staff Malia and Jane to the amazing PT aides who help me each session and, of course, my brilliant PTs Natalie and Morgan who have helped me so much with managing my back pain over the last few months. I highly recommend them to all of my friends!

I searched for the best PT in the Bay Area. I was recommended Origin by a fellow Mama. From the moment I began sessions with Emma I have felt a huge shift in every aspect of my physical body. She has helped me from this wholistic perspective. I am relearning how to stand, sit, walk, breathe, and she is so patient with me. Its crazy to think I went in because I had bladder reconstructive surgery and wanted to be sure I was doing everything I could to support my healing. In my first session I walked in shoulders hunched and back rolled, with my knees turned inward. I also realized I was clinching my pelvic floor after years of incontinence. I was unaware to all of this because it had become second nature to be out of tune and out of alignment. I have managed to develop a plethora of exercises with Emma that I call on often as I do bodily check ins. Now, I feel my jaw getting tight and I know what to do to relax before I go into a full on TMJ lockup. When I am standing I know how to check my body from head to toe to realign. Emma is empathetic, kind, and knowledgable but she is also everything you would want in a body realignment coach. I know this post will probably fill up her calendar- wink wink- but everyone deserves to feel the way I feel after our sessions. I have eternal gratitude for Emma.

Really like everything about this place! The staff and the overall vibe are great and a very convenient location

As a new mom, Ive been lugging around my (oh so cute but also very heavy) little one and its wreaked havoc on my posture and my gait. I injured my knee a few weeks ago and Emma was a true lifesaver. She diagnosed my injury, got me taped up so I could function right away, and got me started on a PT game plan to address my underlying issues. I could barely walk when I first came in, and just a couple weeks later I was breakdown it down on the dancefloor at a friends wedding -- Im so thrilled to be getting stronger every day as Emma has been providing me with the tools I need to improve my daily movements, big and small.

First off, Origin PT is a safe space. I felt comfortable explaining everything going on with my body. The care has been incredible. It’s the first time I’m finally understanding issues that have plagued me for years. I feel they’ve put me on the path to recovery.

Morgan Conner was great! She has a kind, thoughtful and thorough manner, and very informative. I am looking forward to working with Origin PT in their beautiful Cow Hollow studio.

I cant recommend Origin more. Its been a delight working with Emma - shes extremely professional, thoughtful, caring and truly listens to you.

Every birthing person should get access to this care pre and post-birth. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Natalie, who is wonderful.

The therapists here are very helpful. I learned a lot about how to manage my issues. And the clinic environment is very calming.

Top notch PT clinic with the most experienced clinicians, a rad and accessible brand, and a warm and welcoming staff ready to help!

Amazing and thoughtful care to help prep for birth or recover postpartum 🤍

Best PT ever! So warm and welcoming - and an absolutely beautiful space. I recommend this place to everyone!

They run on time and accommodate my schedule. Plus the care is great!

So glad that my OBGYN referred me here!

Everyone is so friendly, kind and patient. Could not recommend more

Professional, skilled place to get PT related to pregnancy and beyond.
