About the role

The Lead Physical Therapist – Orthopedics is a practicing clinician who provides day-to-day onsite clinical leadership and operational support for orthopedic physical therapy services at the Brentwood clinic. This role serves as a clinical leader for Origin’s orthopedic care model and works in close collaboration with pelvic health physical therapists to provide comprehensive, whole-person care for women across all ages and stages of life.

In partnership with the Clinical Director, the Lead PT – Orthopedics supports clinical quality, team communication, clinic operations, patient experience, growth of orthopedic services, and company initiatives.

Clinical Care & Orthopedic Leadership

• Maintain a clinical caseload and model high-quality, evidence-informed, patient-centered orthopedic physical therapy care.
• Evaluate and treat orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions across the lifespan, with particular expertise in the needs of women throughout different ages and stages of life.
• Provide care for conditions involving the spine, upper and lower extremities, sports and activity-related injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, and other musculoskeletal conditions within the physical therapist’s scope of practice.
• Collaborate closely with pelvic health physical therapists when patients would benefit from both orthopedic and pelvic health expertise.
• Support a coordinated care model in which orthopedic and pelvic health clinicians communicate and collaborate rather than treating conditions in isolation.
• Help clinicians identify when an orthopedic patient may benefit from pelvic health assessment and when a pelvic health patient may benefit from orthopedic assessment.
• Serve as an onsite orthopedic clinical resource for PTs and other team members.
• Support clinical mentorship, case consultation, peer coaching, and development of orthopedic clinical skills.
• Promote consistent clinical standards, documentation, outcomes tracking, and evidence-informed practice.

Service Line Development & Growth

• Support the development and implementation of orthopedic physical therapy services within the Brentwood clinic.
• Partner with clinic and company leadership to establish workflows that effectively integrate orthopedic and pelvic health services.
• Identify opportunities to improve patient access to orthopedic care and expand the number of patients who can receive comprehensive care within Origin.
• Help educate the clinic team on orthopedic services, appropriate patient populations, and opportunities for internal collaboration.
• Support relationships with physicians, healthcare providers, fitness professionals, community partners, and other referral sources as appropriate.
• Participate in community education, outreach, and other initiatives designed to increase awareness of Origin’s orthopedic services.
• Monitor orthopedic schedules, capacity, patient access, and visit volume and communicate opportunities or barriers to leadership.
• Provide feedback to leadership regarding patient needs, clinical trends, and opportunities for future development of orthopedic services.

Clinic Leadership & Operations

• Serve as an onsite point person for routine operational, staffing, scheduling, and patient needs.
• Lead staff meetings as assigned

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 Lead 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
