Motion Matters Physical Therapy and Wellness
About
I own an outpatient PT practice where i specialize in the treatment of complex chronic pain conditions. I have been through therapeutic pain specialist, lifestyle medicine, and pain fellowship programs through Evidence in Motion and Adriaan Louw’s group. I see a lot of hypermobility spectrum disorder and hEDS at the clinic. I only discovered my own hypermobility related pains and aches after i started treating patients with it about 10 years ago. I’ve been a PT for 25 years. I also offer yoga training for the nervous system, integrate lifestyle medicine treatment and counseling, and promote multidisciplinary intervention for the treatment of complex chronic pain. I plan to sign up for the ECHO training beginning in January. I was not sure if i could apply to be listed on this website before i do the training or not given my background with pain science fellowship and pain specialist training. Currently i am the only provider at my clinic along with an office manager (who has hEDS and POTS). My goal is to hire a chronic pain trained pelvic floor specialist to add to the clinic. The hEDS population seems to have found me and i seem to relate well to them. The University of Iowa nearby has dropped its EDS clinic completely and i see there is a real need for patients to get resources. I’d like to continue my training and resource awareness to better serve this population of patients.
