Exceptional Solutions Physical Therapy
Grand Rapids, MI · Physical Therapy
Welcome to Exceptional Solutions PT! I am so excited to announce the opening of my new PT Clinic specializing in Chronic Pain, Hypermobility, and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I have a personal and intuitive approach to improving or eliminating pain that most medical practitioners don’t have experience with because I am also diagnosed with hEDS. My skills and knowledge developed not only from schooling, but from a lifetime of overcoming my own chronic pain, injuries, and disability. My journey through my own chronic pain story has resulted in a desire to work with patients like myself because I understand how easily chronic pain patients lose their enjoyment of life, experience anxiety and depression, and ultimately feel hopeless. I am passionate about helping others overcome like I have done. I have learned first hand what can happen if medical practitioners do not believe you and impose treatments that have unintended consequences, or simply tell you there’s nothing that can be done. As a result, I believe that patients know their body best, need to be believed, and that complex medical diagnoses are often misunderstood. A provider who is not hypermobile or EDS aware can easily cause a flare up in pain or even worsen your instability if they treat you according to standard protocols. Chronic pain patients require gentle and more gradual methods to reach their goal of getting out of pain. I provide extensive hands-on guidance to avoid flare up pain while working to increase strength and reduce pain. I would argue that it’s always best to work with a provider who has personal experience with EDS if at all possible. There’s just no substitute for the natural intuition that we have when we know how everything will feel. I will use out of the box thinking and creative solutions to reduce or eliminate your pain, just as I was able to do for myself. I never utilize standard protocols to treat patients. Every treatment is truly individualized to focus on improving your issues and concerns. I invite you to come and experience varied mainstream and alternative treatment techniques that I employ to treat in a well-rounded holistic manner, ultimately giving each patient the best possible outcome.

Alaina Vince
Lansing, MI · Physical Therapy
I am a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health and joint hypermobility, and have hypermobility and dysautonomias myself. I have worked with numerous patients and clients with EDS/HSD/POTS/MCAS and chronic pain, and am systematic with how I address pain and the body. I am a firm believer that even with connective tissue issues and dysautonomias, a person can build up effective strength, decrease their symptoms, and participate in activities they are interested in. My passion with working with people with joint hypermobility and dysautonomias grew in 2022, when I created the Strong and Bendy exercise program and Oxbow Health & Wellness. This began as a few videos of exercises for clients who did not like reading my paper handouts, and wanted to follow along in real time with my cues, then grew to over 60 videos! This program address core strength, as well as the rest of the body, to improve joint stability and strength. These exercises are spinal neutral, have minimal position changes for those with dysautonomia, and are very gradual to avoid pain flares. They include exercises I do myself to keep pain at bay, and have been used successfully by a number of people I have worked with. For more one-on-one consultations, I am able to do in-home or online evaluations via my physical therapy practice, Great Lakes Pelvic Rehab. I am an out-of-network provider, so do not take insurance, but keep my costs well below the market value so that services are accessible to those who need them. Feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have, or how we can best work together to address your symptoms!

I am a “mostly-retired” psychiatric nurse practitioner who has hEDS, contracting very part time with Suunta, which is a compassionate and open-minded group of nurse practitioners and mental health therapists. I have decades of experience working with individuals with chronic illness and disability. In my current practice, I only treat individuals who have some type of chronic pain/illness, or other functionally limiting diagnosis. Most of my patients have EDS and many are neurodivergent. We work on processing cumulative trauma of all sorts, including “medical gaslighting”. Coping strategies for functional limitations and techniques/treatments for calming the autonomic nervous system are priorities. Grief and adjustment associated with loss of abilities, and the anxiety and depression which can develop from a life lived with these conditions are addressed, with an emphasis on each patient’s goals for their most fulfilling future.

Many women experience pelvic floor issues, especially during life transitions like postpartum or menopause. But often, symptoms like painful sex, leaky bladder, or hip and back pain get dismissed as “normal, a side effect of aging, or just how it is after childbirth.” At Health Elevated, we know that when it comes to these sensitive issues in such a personal area, that pain or dysfunction may seem easier to ignore than to address! But we also know that these symptoms are more than just inconvenient — They’re straining relationships, eroding confidence, and even limiting women in their careers. This is why we provide concierge pelvic health services to women who are ready to get their best life back! With careful assessments and custom treatment options, we help them address the root problem, and solve it for good so they can regain control and confidence in their body again and rediscover a life without limits.
