Wisp, the largest pure play women’s telehealth company in the U.S. focused on sexual and reproductive health, has announced a partnership with Origin, a nationwide provider of women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy. Through this collaboration, Wisp’s 1.4 million patients will gain access to Origin’s services with exclusive discounts.
The partnership aims to address pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), which according to the 2024 Origin Pelvic Health Study affects 83 percent of women between ages 18-59. The study found that millennial women report higher rates of pelvic floor issues than older Gen X women, with symptoms most likely to start or worsen during maternity or menopause. Among women who have had a baby in the past 5 years, 79 percent report that pelvic symptoms negatively impact their lives.
Wisp patients can now access both in-person care in seven states and virtual pelvic floor physical therapy nationwide through Origin. The first visit includes a discussion of symptoms and health history, an assessment of movement and breathing, and if recommended, an internal examination to evaluate pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination. Treatments are then tailored to each individual, including personalized exercises, techniques to improve muscle coordination, strategies for better posture and breathing, and guidance on pain-free 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.”
The partnership also benefits Origin patients, who will receive exclusive discounts on Wisp treatments including UTI and STI care, fertility and menopause products, and more. Both companies aim to educate women on the commonality of pelvic symptoms while removing the embarrassment often 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.”
Origin, founded in 2020, provides specialized musculoskeletal care for women at every stage of life, with a focus on incontinence, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and sexual health. The company is in-network for over 50 million people and accepts Medicare. In addition to in-person clinics in seven states, Origin offers virtual care throughout the country, as well as pelvic health coaching and on-demand digital programs.
