Lori Winslow Pilates and Wellness
About
I am a certified Pilates Teacher practicing for over 15 years. I personally have hEDS, MCAS, POTS and autoimmune disorders. I have completed the EDS ECHO Integral Movement Method course hosted by the Ehlers Danlos Society and Jeannie di Bon and numerous CE courses offered by EDS Society to stay on top of latest research and techniques. I utilize modified Pilates exercises as well as other movement modalities with clients. I work with a network of other practitioners with EDS expertise to better serve our clients. I see clients in person in a quiet studio dedicated to private one-on-one sessions and virtually via Zoom. I serve not only clients with EDS but also pre/post natal, pre/post surgery rehab, active aging clients focused on balance and safe movement for osteoporosis and athletes.
EDS Healthcare in New Jersey
New Jersey has no in-state EDS Center of Excellence. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside, New York is the nearest Center of Excellence for northern New Jersey patients. The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center is also accessible from northern New Jersey. Southern New Jersey patients can access CHOP and Penn State Health's EDS Program in Pennsylvania.
New Jersey's location is actually an advantage — most residents are within 1-2 hours of multiple EDS programs in New York and Pennsylvania. The main challenge is navigating out-of-state insurance coverage and choosing among the available programs. Central New Jersey patients have access to both New York and Philadelphia options.
Finding Movement / Exercise for EDS
Look for instructors with specific hypermobility training who modify exercises to build strength within safe joint range rather than pushing flexibility.
