Makenzie Cochran

The Origin Way provides pelvic health physical therapy for all people to address bladder, bowel and pain conditions. And here at IMAGE Studios of Austin – South Shore, Makenzie Cochran is one of our Origin Way physical therapists. She graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies and minor in Business in 2015. After graduating she spent time serving the Austin community through nonprofit work before deciding to pursue a career in physical therapy. In 2021 she received a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

Makenzie became interested in pelvic health while in graduate school and has since sought to increase public awareness and knowledge of pelvic floor therapy in hopes of improving patient access and care. She is committed to being an advocate for her patients and strives to empower them to be autonomous in their health journey through continued education.

She has completed continuing education on pelvic floor diagnoses and treatments, trauma sensitivity, dry needling, as well as specific courses in myofascial release. Makenzie and her husband enjoy overindulging in the local Austin food scene, chasing their pooch Blu, gardening, and backpacking.
