Wisp Partners with Origin to Offer Members Access to Pelvic Physical Therapy
Wisp, the largest pure play women's telehealth company in the U.S. focused on providing sexual and reproductive health solutions, now serving more than 1.4 million patients, today announced its partnership with Origin, the leading nationwide provider of women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy. Wisp patients can now access Origin’s full suite of services through exclusive discounts, including therapies tailored to postpartum healing, pre-pregnancy strengthening, improving pain during sex and symptoms associated with common and oftentimes chronic vaginal infections like UTIs.
According to the 2024 Origin Pelvic Health Study, 83 percent of women between ages 18-59 report symptoms linked to pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), with millennial women reporting much higher rates of pelvic floor issues than older Gen X women. Pelvic floor symptoms are most likely to start or worsen as a result of maternity or menopause. Among women who have had a baby in the past 5 years, 79 percent say that pelvic symptoms negatively impact their lives. Recognizing this demographic makes up a large portion of both companies' patient populations, Wisp and Origin have chosen to partner to bring whole body and pelvic floor physical therapy options to Wisp’s members, in addition to their current preventive treatment options and prescription medications.
Wisp patients can now access 360 degree care that includes in-person care in seven states and virtual pelvic floor physical therapy nationwide through Origin. First visits include a thorough discussion of symptoms and related health history, followed by an assessment of movement and breathing and if recommended, an internal examination to evaluate pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination. From there, treatments are tailored to each individual's body, including personalized exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor, techniques to improve muscle coordination, strategies for better posture and breathing, and guidance on pain-free exercise and daily activities.
"Women's health is complex and multifaceted, requiring personalized care that addresses the specific needs of each individual," said Origin CEO & Co-Founder Carine Carmy. “Origin and Wisp are dedicated to providing comprehensive, tailored solutions that empower women to prioritize their reproductive, sexual, and overall well-being."
In addition to Wisp patients gaining access to Origin’s services, Origin patients will get an exclusive discount to Wisp treatments including UTI and STI care, fertility and menopause products, and more. Their partnership aims to educate women on the commonality of pelvic symptoms by pointing patients towards innovative solutions while removing the embarrassment oftentimes associated with vaginal health.
“Wisp is leading the charge in bringing taboo topics to the mainstream, giving attention to historically underserved and overlooked areas like menopause, STIs, fertility challenges, weight care and more,” said Monica Cepak, CEO of Wisp. “The pelvic floor sits at the forefront of women’s healthcare, and we’re thrilled to leverage a strategic partnership with Origin to address vaginal health holistically.”
