Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage, LLC - Emmaus
About
Based in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, this massage / bodywork practice focuses on hypermobility, POTS and dysautonomia and chronic pain. Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage provides specialized care for individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), dysautonomia, and other connective tissue or chronic pain conditions. Our therapists understand these challenges both clinically and personally, as several team members, including Brianna Lembach, LMT , live with EDS themselves. We focus on restoring comfort, stability, and mobility through gentle, customized massage therapy that respects tissue fragility and nervous system sensitivity. Each session is tailored to your body’s needs and pace, helping you manage pain, reduce tension, and support long-term well-being in a safe, understanding environment. Office Locations: Bethlehem, PA Emmaus, PA
EDS Healthcare in Pennsylvania
Penn State Health's EDS Program in Hershey is an EDS Society Center of Excellence. CHOP in Philadelphia operates both a Cardiovascular Connective Tissue Disorders Clinic and the Roberts Individualized Medical Genetics Center (Roberts IMGC). Penn Medicine in Philadelphia has additional EDS resources. The Pennsylvania Association of Genetic Counselors supports genetic testing access statewide.
Central and eastern Pennsylvania have strong resources, but western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh area) and the rural northeast have limited dedicated EDS programs. Pittsburgh patients may find programs in Columbus, Ohio or at IU Health in Indianapolis more accessible than traveling to Hershey or Philadelphia.
Finding Massage / Bodywork for EDS
Ask whether the therapist modifies pressure for hypermobile patients and avoids deep tissue work near unstable joints.
