Origin Expands Bay Area Footprint With New Berkeley Clinic

According to a recent LinkedIn post from Origin, the company has opened its 20th clinic in Berkeley, California, coinciding with its sixth anniversary. The post notes that more than 10,000 providers have referred patients to Origin and cites that approximately 1% of San Francisco’s population has used its services, positioning Bay Area expansion as a logical step.

The post highlights that the Berkeley site will be led by Dr. Natalie Russell, PT, DPT, OCS, who previously served on the San Francisco team as a physical therapist and Clinical Director. Origin also emphasizes the availability of virtual and hybrid care, suggesting an omnichannel delivery model that could support scalable growth and broaden its addressable market beyond physical clinic locations.

For investors, the steady build-out to 20 clinics and the referenced referral base may indicate growing demand and a strengthening brand in the pelvic health segment. Expansion within the Bay Area, a relatively high-income and health-conscious market, could enhance revenue potential while reinforcing Origin’s positioning in the increasingly mainstream pelvic health and women’s wellness space.

The focus on a seasoned internal leader for the new clinic may reduce execution risk associated with entering the East Bay submarket. At the same time, the emphasis on virtual and hybrid care suggests that Origin is attempting to balance capital-intensive brick‑and‑mortar expansion with technology-enabled services, a mix that could influence margin structure and scalability over the medium term.
