Abide Physical Therapy
Abide Physical Therapy is a concierge performance training company located in the east valley of Phoenix, AZ. Abide helps individuals to be successful at moving beyond their expectations with a focus on having a decrease in pain and increase in function. We do this because it saves patients time and money in order to experience a decrease in visit sessions for individuals desiring to remain engaged with their family members, work pain free and journey through life with increased ease. At Abide, we focus on a “top-down approach” – treating the whole body and not solely an individual’s symptoms. At Abide, we specialize in the treatment of various neuromuscular conditions such as HDS/EDS/POTS, orthopedic and sports related injuries and the pelvic floor. At Abide, we specialize in manual therapy consisting of: joint mobilizations and manipulations, craniosacral, neuromeningeal and visceral manual therapy, cupping, therapeutic stretching, myofascial massage and dry needling.

Help & Hope Counseling
Transforming the Whole You — Mind, Body, and Relationships I help individuals and families—especially those in military and rural communities—move through trauma, grow through complex grief, and restore their most important relationships. I also help when drinking a little too much or turning to food feels like the only way to cope, working together to rebuild body trust and create healthier patterns. In addition, I support families navigating neurodivergence, developmental disabilities, and complex medical conditions—such as fibromyalgia, TBIm, PCOS, CKD and EDS—with understanding, practical tools, and compassion. I use a neurodivergent affirming framework and specialize in Play Therapy addressing trauma, anxiety, and concerns of neurodivergent individuals and families virtually (children ages 7-11). I use creative modalities with all ages to push past your comfort zone so you can grow and move from surviving to thriving. My primary expertise is as a Certified Trauma Therapist (Level 1), with a focus on C-PTSD, nervous system regulation, somatic integration, Flash Technique and parts work. I also specialize in complex grief from my years in hospice. I use play therapy and IFS to help clients of all ages process childhood trauma. My approach combines IFS, Play Therapy, Flash Technique and somatic, body-based modalities, and I offer biblical integration upon request. I will work with couples, reserving those limited spots for couples seeking faith-based support within a Gottman framework. With confidential, in-network telehealth (including TRICARE) , you can connect with a provider who understands your culture while being outside your local community —giving you both privacy and access when nearby options are limited. My approach to therapy: I offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure a good fit. If I’m not the right provider, I’ll connect the client with another clinician in our team or the community. I’m also comfortable working with clients who are on the edge of outpatient versus IOP, providing extra sessions when needed and referring out if appropriate.

Thrive Physical Therapy
Dr. Catherine (Cat) Savoia, a Boston native, began her love for the human body with dance. She began her dance training at a local studio at the age of 2. Her passion for movement and love of art drove her to begin teaching. In 2007, she completed a three summer Dance Teachers Training program at the age of 17. Her professional dance training continued in New York at Hofstra University, where she graduated Suma Cum Laude with her Bachelors of Science in Dance Education. She went on to become certified to teach K-12 in New York Public schools. She studied all styles of dance with most emphasis on Ballet and Modern. After graduation Cat went on to teach at multiple studios and give master classes in Ballet, Modern, and Contemporary dance. However, after multiple dance injuries over the years, Cat realized the lack of dance specific rehabilitation options and lack of specialists for injured dancers. Her avidity for movement and efficiency propelled her toward filling this need for Dance Medicine. Cat graduated from Northern Arizona University with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2016. There, she fell in love with all forms of rehabilitation. In her career, Cat has worked with a wide variety of injuries, extending from severe neurological injuries to athletes. As she has honed in on her skills, she specializes in dance injuries, performing arts rehabilitation, concussion, TMJ disorders, dysautonomia, EDS/ HSD, cervicogenic dizziness and headaches, as well as vertigo, vestibular dysfunction and balance disorders. Shortly after beginning her career in 2016, Dr. Cat began having her own health issues and began a long journey without answers. She has since resolved many of these issues, but has lasting limitations due to Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and dysautonomia/ POTS. This has driven her career to treat people with and educate people about EDS/HSD, POTS, and other chronic illnesses. Since experiencing her own 8 year journey with chronic illness, Dr. Cat has invaluable experience and understanding on treating these diagnoses and caring for people who have suffered “healthcare trauma” and invalidation. Cat is certified in Integrative Dry Needling, Vestibular Rehabilitation & Concussion, and Nutrition for Chronic Pain. Her skill set also includes, but is not limited to neural manipulation by Barral Institute, cupping, and IASTM. She enjoys using her skills and tools to develop an individualized program for each patient to reach their maximum potential in daily activities, to prevent injuries, and to progress safely to return to high level activities. In her free time Cat enjoys yoga, hiking with her husband, going to the dog park with her two fur babies (Zoey and Lola), reading, and going to brunch.

Releaseology - Physical Therapy
Sara Becker with Releaseology has her doctorate in physical therapy and prides herself on the nontraditional approach to healthcare. With extensive experience rehabbing neurological patients, Sara began to see a critical connection: true healing wasn’t just about addressing muscles and joints—it was about working with the nervous system itself. Pain, stress, and dysfunction often have deeper roots in how the brain and body communicate. Sara realized that by targeting pain at its neurological source, she could help people experience deeper, lasting relief. This revelation led her to immerse herself in perfecting hands-on techniques like neurokinetic therapy (NKT), vagus nerve regulation, dry needling, and myofascial release. Sara has crafted a practice centered on holistic, root-cause healing that not only reduces pain and dysfunction but helps my clients feel more at ease in their bodies. Every day, Sara is honored to help people take control of their healing journeys, release pain and stress, and reconnect with the incredible resilience of their bodies and nervous systems.

After 30 years developing and directing the UCLA pediatric pain and palliative care program, where I saw many young people with EDS, my husband Dr. Paul Zeltzer, and I formed Whole Child LA pain clinic in our home office in Encino. This also allows us to see patients until age 30 years rather than the 18 year cut-off for pediatrics at UCLA. Before Paul worked with me, he was a pediatric neuro-oncologist where he saw many complicated patients. At UCLA I saw many patients with rare diseases and complicated conditions. My pain clinic was seen as “the clinic of last resort” since everyone sent their most complicated patient to me. Thus what was complicated to others became quite understandable to me and not that complicated. Our success rate at WCLA is about 85% with our seeing the patients that have typically failed other doctors and treatments.

Marta Long MD, Inc
Dr. Long offers consultations for patients who suspect they have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and require an initial diagnosis or a comprehensive evaluation of their symptoms. The EDS-focused consultation does not obligate you to join the house call based concierge primary care practice and includes an optional one-time follow-up to review results. As the evaluation and subsequent report may take several hours, the consultation may not be fully covered by insurance. However, we will bill your insurance as a courtesy for potential reimbursement. Many patients find this consultation beneficial in guiding them toward concrete next steps. For those who opt for concierge primary care and incorporate Dr. Long’s holistic approach, chronic pain and fatigue may resolve within 6-12 months. The comprehensive EDS evaluation includes: Diagnosis Assessment of the musculoskeletal system, including chronic pain and fatigue Evaluation of gastrointestinal, neurological, and psychiatric disorders Dr. Long also offers EDS consultations for children with hypermobility (minimum age of 2) but does not provide primary care to pediatric patients. Out-of-state patients will need to travel to California for an office visit. Patients living outside Orange County will be seen in the office, while those within Orange County have the option of a house call. Due to the complexity of the treatment plan, we recommend that patients involve a family member or trusted partner to assist with its execution, especially when “brain fog” and “attention deficits” are present.

Jessica Workman earned her B.S. in Physiology and Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego, in 2009. She then went on to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos in 2012. During her time in physical therapy school, she discovered that she had been struggling with chronic pain caused by hypermobility. Jessica began her career in an outpatient orthopedic clinic in Thousand Oaks before transitioning to a mixed outpatient orthopedic and neurological practice specializing in vestibular disorders in March 2014. With a focus on treating complex neurological, vestibular, and orthopedic conditions, she utilizes Functional Manual Therapy, Craniosacral techniques from Upledger, and Visceral Manipulation from Barral. She is nearly complete with a Functional Manual Therapy Fellowship through the Institute of Physical Art. It was during her in depth studies into treating a broad array of complex systems such as airway/sleep disorders, connective tissue disorders, concussions, and enhancing athletic performance that Jessica developed a deep passion for treating individuals with chronic pain related to hypermobility, recognizing the unique challenges these patients face. Her approach centers on a holistic evaluation of the person and their environments and lives, collaborating closely with her patients their physicians and loved ones to help them return to the activities and lifestyle that bring them joy.

Gloria Tucker, MD
As a specialist in Proliferative and Regenerative Medicine, my primary treatment modalities are PRP, Prolotherapy and Ozone therapy. With an emphasis on hypermobility, and musculoskeletal pain. I treat a wide variety of conditions ranging from hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to tennis elbow, knee and hip pain, low back pain, chronic neck pain, wrist pain, base of thumb pain, plantar fasciitis, early arthritis, patellar dislocations, TMJ, and thoracic outlet syndrome. My treatments have also been successful in helping patients heal from instability of joints such as the sacroiliac (SI) joint, shoulder, or ankle joint. Because of my previous work as a Sports Medicine doctor, I am able to make accurate musculoskeletal diagnoses and I now combine this expertise with the treatment modalities of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and prolotherapy. While many doctors use a single injection of PRP of Prolotherapy into the joint, I have found that treating the surrounding ligaments and tendons is the key to true resolution of chronic pain and joint instability. The ligaments, which connect bones to bones, can wear out, resulting in a loss of integrity or lax ligaments. This can then cause excess motion and pain in the joint. The tendons, which connect muscles to bones, can also be overworked trying to hold the joints together, creating a sensation of tightness and chronic pain. I have mastered the technique of utilizing PRP and prolotherapy for healing ligaments and tendons.

Axis Mundi Center
I am a medical advocate for someone with HSD/hEDS and have learned a lot about Ehlers-Danlos in the process of that. I work with many clients who have chronic illnesses or disabilities, including different subtypes of Ehlers-Danlos. I have lived experience with medical complexity, chronic illness, and disability; my work is deeply grounded in the values and practice of [disability justice.](https://wid.org/moving-from-disability-rights-to-disability-justice/) I see therapy as a journey we are on together. I meet clients where they’re at, and help them trust their own needs and experience. I’m direct in my interventions, but I also recognize the power in the therapist’s role and strive to hold it gently and mindfully. You are the expert on you. Therapy has a reputation of being very cognitive; you come to therapy to generate new thoughts and new ideas, to get advice. But that approach to therapy leaves out an important and powerful part of ourselves; the part that feels. Most people come to therapy because we want to feel different in life. But if we want to change the way we feel, we have to connect to the parts of us that feel in the first place. I guide clients through stopping and noticing feelings as they experience them, in the moment. Getting outside the narrative and attending directly to our felt experience in this way helps us learn from and transform it; creating new neurological connections in the brain which can move us toward healing and experiencing life differently, from the bottom up.One important way to do this is through our bodies. The mind and body are inseparable; thoughts, emotions, body functions, sensations, movements, nerves, and biochemicals are all interconnected. Often we notice emotions first by the way they make our bodies feel. But your body is not just a barometer of our mental health. It is also a tool we can use to feel better. Somatic therapy uses body awareness, movement, and other techniques to calm your nervous system, work with dissociation, process grief and traumatic experiences, deal with chronic pain, increase self care, improve communication with others, set boundaries, and handle challenging situations more effectively. I love working somatically. It is both powerful and gentle, a tool that clients can start using right away to change how they experience their lives. My therapy practice is informed by the values of social justice and anti-oppression activism. These are not just abstract political concepts to me; they deeply influence who I am and how I see the world. My own experiences with marginalization have taught me how important it is to approach my clients with honesty, non-judgment, and cultural humility. I engage in ongoing training to increase my competence with a diversity of clients and cultures. My own identities are: white, Jewish, queer, trans/non-binary, and a member of the fat-liberation and disability-justice communities.

Diana Solomon Lactation
I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and I can help families with all forms of EDS (including rare forms) prepare to feed their babies. I have personal experience with this and also have chronic low milk supply. I encourage families to begin working with me before the baby is born. There is so much planning we can do to help things go more smoothly in the postpartum period, and with breastfeeding, this can make a big difference to outcomes due to the hormonal response immediately after birth. Of course I also see patients who first find me after their baby is born and there is still a lot we can do to make feeding feel more comfortable and sustainable with Ehlers-Danlos and its accompanying conditions. I can help with all aspects of infant feeding, whether a family is direct breastfeeding, pumping, combo feeding, or exclusively giving donor milk or formula. I provide non-judgmental care and support my patients however they feed their babies. Parental mental health is a passion of mine and I strive to help each family find a feeding plan that works for them. I accept many US insurance plans and should be in network with almost all plans by late winter 2026. My certification is international, so I can see patients from anywhere in the world online. I am just starting my clinical education of EDS but have many insights from my personal experience. If I don’t know the answer to something, I will work hard to find it. In 2026 I will be participating in three seminar series from EDS Echo, including the one for pediatrics, and I will also attend the EDS Society Female Health Summit. I have a bachelor’s in English and French literature from the University of Chicago and speak Portuguese (fluent), French (advanced), and Spanish (conversational). Please contact me if you are interested in having an appointment in one of these languages. You can follow me on Instagram and TikTok @diana.lactation, where I post about EDS, chronic pain, and low milk supply. I also run the Facebook group Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, & Baby Feeding: Chronic Illness & Ehlers-Danlos.

Alison Murphey, LMFT
Living with chronic pain is exhausting—and often, very lonely. Maybe you feel betrayed by your body, angry at medical professionals who haven’t listened, or weighed down by grief over the life you imagined before pain took center stage. Pain touches everything—your relationships, your work, your sense of self—and many don’t understand that the emotional toll is often just as heavy as the physical. You may even find yourself neglecting your body in frustration. And while some days you may manage, on the hard days, it can feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. In therapy, you’ll find a safe space to process the anger, grief, and fear that come with chronic pain. Together, we’ll build coping tools for hard days and unpack the impact of these experiences. You’ll learn healthier ways to care for yourself, advocate for your needs, and begin living with more peace and freedom—even when pain is still part of your story. As both a therapist and someone who personally understands the challenges of chronic pain, I bring compassion, expertise, and lived experience to our work. Using approaches like EMDR, we’ll address both the trauma of pain and its impact on your daily life. Visit my website to schedule a free consultation today. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Mile High Sports Chiropractic - Castle Rock
Mile High Sports Chiropractic specializes in the assessment and treatment of fascial abnormalities. Fascia has taken on many definitions throughout the years but has more or less been defined as layers of tissues that cover the muscles and flow throughout the body. Understanding how pain/dysfunction is presented allows our patients to achieve amazing results in significantly fewer visits. Our doctors take the time to understand the complicated history of patients to help ensure they can work towards solving the root cause of pain. Proper biomechanics and injury prevention are carefully considered based on each individual’s abilities as our doctors create a personalized treatment plan.

Center for Multisystem Disease: Jill Schofield, MD
The Center for Multisystem Disease in Denver specializes in disorders that affect multiple body systems. These diseases often cause such complex symptoms that patients spend years going from one doctor to the next, without ever obtaining an accurate diagnosis because their problem doesn't fit neatly into a traditional medical specialty. Jill Schofield, MD founded the Center for Multisystem Disease to provide comprehensive care to patients with conditions such as dysautonomia, mast cell activation syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome, and celiac disease. Some of the patients suffering from these disorders also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which causes additional struggles. She specializes in immune-mediated disorders that are confounding due to bodywide symptoms, devoting extra time to each patient so she can identify the issues causing their symptoms. She was the recipient of the 2019 Dysautonomia Support Network's Game Changer Award for her work in the use of IVIG to treat patients with autoimmune forms of dysautonomia. At the Center for Multisystem Disease, you'll receive compassionate care that includes not just medication, but support for lifestyle changes that are important for many patients suffering from these disorders. This includes dietary counseling, help with stress reduction, and learning the best ways to exercise to maintain well-being without aggravating your condition...

During my athletic career, I accumulated numerous injuries, and was diagnosed with EDS that led to years of chronic pain. This sparked a lifelong passion for how biomechanics, nutrition, and neurology interact with each other and affect how we experience pain. I have always loved learning and solving complex, multisystem problems and am especially interested in applying my knowledge to injuries and pain. Personal Training Individualized fitness programming that has a detailed why behind every decision made. Everything I do is built off an initial assessment that will be repeated regularly to assess progress and to ensure your programming is up to date. Together we will work to create a program that is tailored specifically to your goals and needs. There is no one size fits all when it comes to health and wellness. The human body is a system of dynamic subsystems that integrate into extreme complexity and what works for one person might not work for another. Context is key. I specialize in biomechanics and integrating mobility principles into strength training. I also have a special interest in helping individuals who are hypermobile and/or diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome learn how to strengthen, stabilize, and create a resilient body to combat risk of injury and pain so that they can live a limitless life inside and outside the gym. I have over 7 years of experience creating fitness and nutrition programs for individuals of all ages and experience levels. I have experience coaching and training athletes of all ages and levels (youth through professional athletes). I also have experience training individuals with various injuries and health conditions such as Lyme disease, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), hypermobility, chronic back/low back pain, knee pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, and spinal cord injuries. Nutrition Coaching Work one on one with me with online nutrition coaching. I provide simple, no B.S. nutrition education and recommendations so that you can become the best version of yourself mentally and physically while also having the confidence to maintain this for life. I have worked with people of all ages and with various goals ranging from weight loss to optimizing health to gaining weight/muscle. My goal is to be the last coach you’ll ever need Somatic Coaching My personalized approach blends methods such as inner child healing, somatic parts work (based off internal family systems), nervous system regulation, JournalSpeak, breathwork, movement, energy healing, and so much more. I am passionate about holding space for the body’s wisdom to come through. I trust that given the right space, time, support, and permission, our bodies know how to heal and repair. Somatic work involves healing through leveraging the wisdom of the body (the soma) where our most deeply engrained subconscious behaviors and beliefs are stored. Our work together, we will explore the language of your body by diving into inner explorations that involve your body, mind, and soul so that you can better understand yourself and find powerful ways to create change internally and externally. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I empower your intuition and honor your body’s natural pacing in order to support your lasting change.

Rolfing Resilience
Within the scope of Structural Integration, my therapeutic approach is to do no harm and consider the individual needs of my clients. I use gentle manipulation methods to avoid overstretching and to allow for calm nervous system response. When working with clients who have EDS, we focus more on fascial toning and proprioceptive re-education with a focus on stability, not mobility. Certified Rolfers are known for the Rolfing 10 Series®, a progressive, cumulative approach to addressing the entirety of the body’s fascial system. I recommend a single session to start, and together we can decide on an appropriate course of treatment.

Rolfing Resilience
I have been Rolfing for 10 years, currently working towards my Advanced certification. I have had many clients with EDS who have benefitted from my work and recommended I join this site. Rolfing is the pioneering work with fascia, which is more of a philosophy than an exact method or protocol. Understanding that fascia is what holds the body together and must be worked with as a whole system, I apply deep tissue bodywork, as well as movement and awareness exercises to address chronic pain, with an emphasis on holding compassionate space for my clients to gain more understanding of their bodies. Often this can include assignments to be completed between sessions such as strengthening or awareness exercises. In my practice, I find the few super tight places that are doing all the work of holding you together, and work to distribute that strain across more of your musculature by waking up dormant muscles, so that your system has more ease and sustainability. I have been teaching meditation for 15 years, so this can be a resource in sessions as well. I also practice Sourcepoint energy work, which is great for those with more severe EDS who need a lighter touch.

Greta MacMillan LCSW
My clients tend to be adults living with disabilities, mental or physical health issues, autism, adhd, and or are recovering from trauma. They want to find connection and healing while living in an ableist, rigid society. They have experienced spiritual/religious abuse and want to learn to use their unique brains and bodies to support their recovery. They have a sense of humor and are open minded, using creative strategies to heal. My Approach to Helping I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked for many years with those having to navigate both the medical and behavioral health systems. I approach our work together collaboratively, knowing you are the expert in yourself. I tend to use an eclectic approach, focusing on your personal strengths and drawing on your beliefs, creativity, lived experience, humor and place in society as a beginning to your healing. I am trained in EMDR, ART, sensorimotor/somatic strategies, and am IFS informed, using these modalities in partnership with you during sessions. I am strongly committed to social justice in all its forms, and am open to discussions surrounding politics, oppression, discrimination, and the like. I am not a member of any religious or spiritual group but have knowledge of various communities with a special interest in helping those who have experienced religious trauma. My Personal Beliefs and Interests I have lived experience with some of the issues my clients want to work on. I celebrate and affirm neurodiversity in all its forms and support those participating in anti racist and LGBTQIA+ activism, as well as mutual support/aid. I am a member of the international cultic studies association (ICSA) and financially support many other organizations that are committed to reparations, healing, informing, affirming and amplifying the voices of oppressed populations, as well as helping alleviate the suffering of other humans. I am committed to financially supporting, honoring and remembering the indigenous people whose land was stolen from them by colonialists, who committed atrocities and perpetuated generational trauma. I remember, support and acknowledge that Madison, CT should still be home to the Hammonasset, Wappinger and Quinnipiac tribes.

Welcome to Gravity, LLC
My specialty is the Rolf Method of Structural Integration, which I have advanced training in and have been practicing since 2002. Structural Integration is a hands-on soft tissue (myofascial focused) method designed to bring more order into the human structure over a series of 10-sessions. The goal is a more organized, orderly structure in a supportive relationship with gravity. Throughout the series, the whole structure is addressed in a systematic and wholesome way. The client will by guided learn what “home” feels like in their particular body. Body awareness is increased, as often is balance, coordination and stability. I have worked with a number of EDS clients over the years, and they have found SI work to be effective at significantly reducing chronic pain and discomfort, as well as stabilizing joints that had a tendency to displace easily. My understanding of why this last part happens is that when a joint is properly placed, it has to move further to be displaced, whereas when a joint is misplaced or unstable to begin with, it takes less to displace it. Developing overall body awareness and improving proprioception serve to catch the body from moving out of alignment sooner than later, and as a means to reinforce the newer, more orderly pattern. For further reading about this method I would recommend Dr. Rolf’s book “Rolfing”, published in 1979.

Hi, I’m Mel, a graduate intern therapist who works with teens, young adults, and adults living with invisible conditions that are often misunderstood or overlooked. Many of the people I support have spent years feeling dismissed or gaslit by others, including medical providers, and carry the weight of chronic stress, trauma, and self-doubt. I work with individuals navigating chronic pain, illness, fatigue, and disability, especially when those experiences are shaped by trauma, perfectionism, or neurodivergence. My approach focuses on helping clients understand the connection between what they have lived through and how they feel now so they can begin to feel more grounded, validated, and in control.

Hoelle Holistic Health and Spa
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is poorly understood, that’s why you need a practitioner who is seasoned in the complexities and pain of living with EDS and other disabling conditions. As someone living with EDS, I’ve learned how important self-care is and how difficult it is to alleviate the chronic pain that comes with living rare. That’s why I created Hoelle Holistic Health and Spa. My holistic wellness spa is focused on complimenting the medical care received for those living with chronic conditions by assisting managing chronic pain and dysautonomia, relaxing the nervous system, muscles and fascia, improving skin health, and bringing your mind, body and soul to a place of Zen. In addition to the massage and skincare services I provide, I am a Master Herbalist that has crafted an herbal apothecary, hypermobility finger splints, and a list of physicians that are familiar with EDS from North, Central, to South Florida that I can personally recommend. All of this is curated specifically for those living rare, with disabilities, or chronic illnesses who feel stuck in the system and simply want relief.

Alane Wincek
Practitioner Profile – Alane Wincek, ND, CNC I am a certified holistic nutritionist, naturopath, with over 30 years of experience supporting complex, chronic health conditions. I specialize in Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hypermobility-related disorders, chronic pain, fatigue, autonomic dysfunction, mast cell activation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammatory conditions. What makes my work deeply personal is that I also live with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and a chronic condition. I understand firsthand the confusion, dismissal, and frustration that so many people with EDS experience—being told symptoms are “in your head,” struggling with pain that doesn’t follow a straight line, and feeling unsure how to move, eat, supplement, live, or even rest safely in your own body. While there is currently no known cure for EDS , I firmly believe—and have seen repeatedly—that with the right guidance, education, and individualized support , people with EDS can stay stronger, more mobile, clearer-headed, and significantly more comfortable in daily life. My Approach I work from a root-cause, whole-body perspective , recognizing that EDS does not exist in isolation. Joint instability, pain, and injury are often compounded by nervous system dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, infections, viral overloads, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal shifts, gut and immune imbalance, and chronic inflammation. My approach focuses on: Personalized, holistic nutrition counseling to support connective tissue, vascular integrity, and metabolic health Functional lab testing to identify deficiencies, inflammation, infections, viral overloads, autonomic stress, mast cell activity, and metabolic dysfunction Strategic supplementation to support collagen integrity, muscle strength, energy production, inflammation, and recovery Nervous system support to reduce pain amplification, fatigue, and dysautonomia symptoms Lifestyle and movement guidance tailored specifically for hypermobile bodies—so patients know what to do and what to avoid Education and empowerment, so patients feel confident navigating daily life, flare-ups, and long-term planning I collaborate with medical providers when appropriate and help patients understand how to safely integrate both conventional and holistic strategies—without overwhelm or guesswork. Why Patients With EDS Choose to Work With Me People seek me out because they want: A practitioner who truly understands EDS from the inside out Clear guidance instead of vague reassurance Help connecting the dots between pain, fatigue, hormones, infection, viral load, digestion, inflammation, and mobility Support that is realistic, compassionate, and sustainable for long-term living Someone who listens, believes them, respects them, and helps them regain trust in their body Living with EDS requires ongoing support, adaptability, and informed decision-making. My role is to help patients feel less lost, less alone, and more empowered—so they can live fully, stay active in the ways that are right for them, and protect their health over the long term.

How the teeth fit together plays a major role in how the body can support itself. At Caughey DDS, every patient’s body alignment is taken into consideration before any definitive dentistry is accomplished. With children, we look at the development of the bite and oral cavity with respect to any compensations coming from the neck and visual fields – and our goal is to provide the stabilization and redirection necessary to reduce compensation and thereby provide for more symmetrical growth. With adults, we seek to create balance between the dependency on the bite for neck decompression with TMJ support. With all our patients whose compensations show up in the head and neck, referral to body workers is strongly considered.

She has recently begun partnering with colleagues at several institutions on EDS research focused on movement-based therapies. Clinically, she has a strong interest in providing psychological support and coping skills for adolescents and young adults with chronic pain in general, and specifically with EDS and HSDs. Her priority is providing a supportive and validating environment for her clients, given the pain and functional challenges faced by persons with EDS/HSDs, as well as the invalidation and stigma that many patients experience in their medical journey.

The Chronic Illness Therapist
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (LPC, CRC) who specializes in the psychological impact of living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility spectrum disorders, and related conditions including POTS, MCAS, gastroparesis, and chronic fatigue. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience with chronic illness to this work. I understand that EDS affects every system in your body, not just your joints, and that you’re likely managing medical trauma from years of being dismissed, the grief of adjusting to limitations, the exhaustion of coordinating care across multiple specialists, and the anxiety of living in a body that feels unpredictable. My approach is biopsychosocial, meaning I won’t minimize your physical symptoms or tell you it’s “just anxiety,” but I also won’t ignore the very real emotional toll of navigating complex, multi-system illness. You won’t need to spend our time together educating me about what EDS is or defending your symptoms. I believe you. Virtual sessions available at www.thechronicillnesstherapists.com

Addison Chiropractic & Sports Clinic
As a Sports Chiropractor for over 15 years, we have seen many young athletes from cheerleaders to gymnasts who exhibit the symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Many are hypermobile, have widespread body pain or pain in various areas, dislocate and bruise easily, take longer to heal and frequently return to our clinic with new injuries. We began implementing the Beighton Scale and given a review of their medical history suspect that many of these patients likely have EDS or HSD. This has led to the development of a Treatment Program for all ages where we are seeing great success using Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM). Many patients are seeing dramatic improvement in both pain and mobility. We’ve even had patients who were once primarily bedridden now able to fully function in daily life after undergoing treatment. FSM has become one of the most affordable and effective long-term solutions for many patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to manage their pain and symptoms.

Approximately 45% of her patients have hEDS, 2 daughters with hEDS and HSD herself. She provides a gentle chiropractic adjustment, moving major joints through their appropriate ranges of motion (hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists) to neurologically re-set the nervous system for appropriate proprioception (body’s awareness through time and space). She utilizes microcurrent for vagus nerve stimulation, calming the nervous system, relaxing/releasing tension from muscles and strengthen ligaments and tendons through microcurrent frequencies. She checks each new patient for cranial or cervical instability prior to any cervical adjustment, and uses neuro-myofascial release when indicated. Dr. Seebacher is also able to provide corrective and appropriate exercise, especially restoring core strength. She also uses RockTape or Kinesiotape to provide support for muscles and joints, as well as using things to protect the delicate skin of EDS patients when using adhesives.

Antler Clinic
Dr. Antler is a disabled, chronically ill, and queer health and rehabilitation psychologist and clinician-scientist with lived and professional experience navigating complex medical challenges. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), ADHD, and other health conditions, Dr. Antler intimately understands the barriers faced by individuals with complex and rare medical conditions. Not being diagnosed with EDS until the age of 32, Dr. Antler, like many of her patients, endured years of medical neglect and gaslighting. This experience fuels their deep empathy and passion for helping others who face similar struggles and drove her to create Antler Clinic to serve as a place patients could receive the type of care she wished she had access to herself. As the founder of the Antler Clinic, Dr. Antler provides specialized care for those grappling with rare and complicated medical conditions (diagnosed or not), offering expertise in areas such as rehabilitation psychology, health psychology, chronic pain, depression, sleep and circadian rhythms, OCD, and more. At the heart of her practice is a commitment to creating a compassionate, inclusive space where patients are supported, informed, and empowered. Drawing from both her scientific and clinical backgrounds, Dr. Antler is a fierce advocate for her patients, helping them navigate their diagnoses and treatment plans while working to ensure they have access to the care they need. With experience working in primary care, spinal cord injury, and physical rehabilitation settings, as well as conducting sleep research for organizations like NASA, Dr. Antler brings a wealth of knowledge and diverse expertise to her practice. Dr. Antler is neurodivergent, queer, trauma-informed, and strongly committed to social justice. Due to her own disabilities, she works a limited schedule and operates out-of-network with all insurance providers. She offers remote services across 42 states under PSYPACT.

Jacob Miller is a distinguished Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Practitioner and a respected expert in chronic pain management. He began his academic career at the University of Kansas, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology with a specialization in Chemistry. His passion for healthcare led him to Washburn University, where he achieved his Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Honors. Jacob’s commitment to advancing his expertise in pain management propelled him to the top 1% of his class at the Minneapolis School of Anesthesia, where he received his Master of Science in Nurse Anesthesiology. Following his graduation, Jacob completed a rigorous fellowship in Chronic Pain Management at the University of South Florida. During this time, he also had the unique opportunity to train under Dr. Runells, the inventor of the innovative Vampire procedures, which significantly enhanced his skills and knowledge in minimally invasive treatments. In his practice, Jacob specializes in the treatment of painful conditions affecting the spine, joints, and musculoskeletal system, including chronic migraines. He is particularly noted for his critical approach to traditional pain management strategies. Through his extensive research and clinical experience, Jacob has advocated for the use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy over corticosteroids, which he argues can often exacerbate conditions rather than provide relief. His approach focuses on using the body’s own healing mechanisms to treat underlying causes of pain, promoting longer-term health and well-being. Jacob’s professional journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and a deep commitment to improving patient outcomes through innovative pain management techniques. His expertise and groundbreaking work in the field of anesthesiology and pain relief continue to make a significant impact on the lives of his patients.

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.

Core Physical Therapy
Our Mission: To partner with you on your journey to help you achieve your best life. We are experts in Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release therapy, and we use them in almost every therapy session. These hands-on therapy techniques utilize soft touch and gentle manual interventions to help treat both chronic and acute pain. Myofascial Release Therapy has been the reason many of our patients choose Core Physical Therapy. We utilize a series of hands-on techniques that help detect restrictions that won’t be seen on X-rays, CAT scans, or MRIs. Myofascial Release Therapy aims to improve the function of fascia, a system that surrounds bones, muscles, nerves, organs, and blood vessels, that can become damaged overtime. When damaged, this can manifest itself in a whole host of symptoms. We are proud to be the premier provider of Craniosacral Therapy in central Iowa because this specific therapy has helped patients find relief when they haven’t elsewhere. This specific therapy technique taps into the craniosacral system, a system in your body that consists of membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Through skillful palpation throughout the body, our physical therapists are able to identify and treat restrictions in the head, spine, and tailbone that will assist in your recovery.

Summit Physical Therapy, LLC
We see a large number of patients with chronic pain and hyper/hypomobility-whether from chronic injuries or conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos, etc. As many of our patients would say…we treat a little differently than what you would consider traditional “exercise only” physical therapy. We have a very large gentle manual approach to our practice, in conjunction with any strengthening needed, and we asses the body as a whole-which is crucial when dealing with hypermobility, hypomobility, and chronic pain.

Holly's Pilates Village
At Holly’s Pilates Village, we are proud to be the state’s premier center for brain-based exercise targeting neurological disease and injuries. Through our affiliation with The Neuro Studio, we can dramatically improve the quality of life for individuals who have neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, hypermobility, stroke, Parkinson’s, and traumatic brain injury. Holly’s Pilates Village is the only studio in Kentucky with three teachers who have completed advanced training to become Neuro Studio Practitioners. What is Pilates for Neurological Conditions ®? Pilates for Neurological Conditions® taps into each client’s brain to find the unique sensory strategies that help them become more stable in movement. We start with reflexive stability, which is the ability of a joint or multiple joints to respond to movement without losing the integrity of the joint. Proper balance requires alignment of at least two of the body’s three motor control systems: visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive. Without that synching, people develop compensatory patterns such as gripping that can lead to pain and injury. We create strategies based on each client’s individual response to allow the brain’s cerebellum to be the facilitator of change. Find Strength Through Movement Led by specialists trained in adaptive Pilates techniques, our sessions provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals with neurological conditions. Through personalized instruction, we focus on improving mobility, enhancing balance, and promoting overall physical and mental well-being. Our program emphasizes functional movement patterns and mind-body connections, empowering you to navigate daily activities with greater ease and confidence.

Revive Counseling and Consulting
Sometimes it feels like your illness runs your life. Each morning, you wake up wondering if it will be a “bad day” or a “good day” knowing that your body will make that decision. You might have migraines, stomach issues, and even chronic pain. Maybe you’re overwhelmed with managing a chronic illness, organizing doctor’s appointments, and tracking symptoms. You feel embarrassed at the thought of feeling bad when you go out – so you just don’t go out. If you’re Autistic/ADHD/AuDHD, you might hyperfocus on each scary new sensation or worry that you’re “missing something” in your body. Whether you’ve experienced a complicated surgery or just received your hyper-mobility/hEDS diagnosis, painful sensations and emotions can prevent you from feeling fully connected to others and even to yourself. Your body is your first home. It’s where you spend the most time, and you deserve to feel safe in it. Therapy can help you find relief and feel comfortable in your body again.

While our specialist, Dr. McCann, is a chiropractor, our clinic also includes acupuncture, physical therapy, and regenerative medicine. CIH providers practice in an interdisciplinary, collaborative and patient-centered manner. Care is always one-on-one, customized to the individual based on a skilled examination. We prioritize functional abilities and quality of life based on our patients’ goals. We work in tandem with primary care as often as possible, and with additional specialists when appropriate. For EDS patients in particular, people can expect referrals for evaluation or co-management with other specialties, including allergy, rheumatology, and radiologic specialties. Seeing us is a good starting place for people who suspect hypermobile EDS, while we are available to assist with musculoskeletal manifestations of the rare types. Dr. McCann is experienced in physical examination, lab evaluation, radiographic examination, and genetic diagnostics. We value accessibility in healthcare. This includes respectful relationships with all patients. While we attempt to participate in as many insurance networks as possible, some policies do not make individualized care possible, so we are not in network with Medicaid (Mainecare). All our departments are in network with Medicare, and we participate in advocacy to improve Medicare coverage of our services because we recognize that current limitations make access untenable for certain groups of patients.

Over the 20 years of practicing massage therapy I have taken many different types of continuing education. I have been studying connective tissue. I began my research 20 years ago and found in Germany they had a documentary video explaining what connective tissue actually is. I have continued studying outside the US and through the Fascia Congress that connects the research being done around the world. I use a combination of techniques that your body needs. I begin with finding the dysfunction in your connective tissue. The massage therapy modalities include myofascial release technique, trigger point therapy, visceral manipulation, neuromuscular therapy, informed touch, and all the time the tissue needs to respond. I follow what your body needs. My abilities have allowed clients to decrease pain meds along with some stopping them all together. I also am diagnosed with EDS. Hypermobility with vascular symptoms. I haven’t been treated well from doctors. I had to figure out how to keep myself from becoming disabled and deal with my pain levels.

Exceptional Solutions 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
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.

Healing with Heart
I’m Anna McConville, DPT , a physical therapist specializing in hypermobility, chronic pain, and mind-body integration —and I have cEDS myself. With over 30 years of experience , I’ve developed personalized movement, stability, and resilience-building strategies to help people with EDS live, work, and thrive. I blend craniosacral therapy, visceral therapy, Pilates, and mindfulness to create individualized programs that meet each person where they are. I know firsthand that coming home to our bodies can be challenging—but I also believe those with hypermobility have unique strengths. My goal is to help you tap into your body’s wisdom, build stability, and move with greater ease. I recently completed the Finding Functional Foundations program from the ECHO Society and am awaiting certification in June. I have created affordable small-group in-person and virtual training and classes based on this work. In 2025, I’m launching online programs focused on meditation, mindfulness, HeartMath resilience, and a 12-week EDS body-mind stress management course. I also offer flexible plans for those who need out-of-network care. If you’re looking for safe movement, stability strategies, and holistic pain management , I’d love to support you. Together, we can build resilience, confidence, and a stronger connection to your body.

I work with individuals with hypermobility and connective tissue differences who are seeking nervous system regulation, symptom relief, and safer ways to move and rest in their bodies. My approach is not focused on aggressive strengthening or stretching, but on helping clients identify supportive postures, positions and movement strategies that accommodate joint instability, pain, and variable capacity. Sessions emphasize nervous system regulation, breathwork, gentle therapeutic movement, and body awareness to reduce muscle guarding, improve comfort and support daily function. I offer a calm, validating and trauma-informed environment — particularly supportive for individuals who experience chronic pain, sensory sensitivity, or dysautonomia-like symptoms alongside connective tissue challenge. Education and pacing are central, and clients are encouraged to listen to their body’s cues rather than push through discomfort. My role is to support nervous system safety and embodied awareness, helping individuals feel more settled and supported in their bodies while honoring the realities of hypermobility and connective tissue condition.

As a long-time mindfulness practitioner, meditation devotee, and lifelong learner, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Physical Therapy to investigate mindfulness-based movement, resilience, and pain modulation through novel therapeutic approaches integrated with measurable physical therapy outcomes. My research focuses on chronic pain conditions, including hypermobility spectrum disorders, hEDS, and fibromyalgia. Clinically, my work spans connective tissue disorders (including hEDS and related hypermobility syndromes), craniocervical instability and cervicalgia, neurological and complex pain conditions, pelvic health, and multifactorial orthopedic presentations. I believe deeply in treating the whole person by integrating physical, neurological, and psychosocial dimensions to optimize outcomes. My therapeutic approach incorporates Pilates-based rehabilitation, breathwork and autonomic regulation, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and postural restoration, select osteopathic techniques (including craniosacral, visceral, and counterstrain methods), cognitive multisensory rehabilitation, lymphatic drainage, and other specialized body awareness training. I currently provide private clinical care in New York and Minneapolis.

JenFitter Physical Therapy
Holistic Physical Therapy, Pilates, Yoga, and Coaching- Achieve Your Health Goals with Dr. Jennifer M. Nelson DPT, DScPT. My approach is that of a doctoral-level physical therapist who provides holistic, quality physical therapy and coaching targeted towards people with persistent pain and autonomic dysfunction and those who want a provider who can treat the whole body. I assist people by providing physical therapy, coaching, training and more. Let me help you connect with your health and wellness goals by meeting your personal needs online or in-person. What truly sets my approach apart is I will listen to you, take different concepts and diagnosis’s you may have gotten from numerous different providers and weed through it. Usually the providers are all saying the same thing but only looking at a small part of it so it sounds different. I help take the fear out of your condition and help you problem solve in a judgment free zone. There is no problem too small or big that we can’t work on. I truly believe you can do anything you want if you have the correct support (pun intended), understand the risks and have the time and drive to commit to it. I can help you find your unique path. Examples of treatments and approaches we can explore together: Breathing- Breathing patterns are at the heart of many problems. I commonly see people become stuck in one way of breathing leading to mechanical, postural and chemical problems throughout the body. There is no one “right” way to breathe all the time, and I will help you learn how to use different breathing methods becoming more efficient at using the oxygen you breathe in. Manual Therapy – Mobilization and manipulation of the joints and various soft tissue/massage techniques to help you use your body differently and get out of painful/dysfunctional patterns of movement. Manual therapy can also be used to help calm the nervous system and manage swelling/inflammation. Dry Needling – The ultimate deep tissue work. It is great for knots in muscles, tight fascia and scars. Dry needling is different from acupuncture but can be performed by an acupuncturist. Pain Science Education – The body talks to the brain and the brain talks to the body. Many treatments only focus on the way the body talks to the brain. Pain Science Education helps to teach the brain new ways to talk to the body and is wonderful for persistent problems. This may include self-talk, education, flash cards/memory games and mirrors depending on what is needed. Exercises – Movement in all forms. We will start from the foundation. Whether it is to increase your cardiovascular and muscular endurance, strength or balance, we will assess your current movement patterns and how they are playing into the problem you are having. I will then help you learn new movement patterns to accomplish your goals. This often means small tweaks to exercises you are already doing to target muscles you have difficulty using or to stop using muscles you already use. We will discuss how many exercises you can do as homework as well so the program is truly individualized. Yoga – Yoga is a wonderful way for people to connect with themselves. Over the years some have turned the movement part of yoga into a workout rather than a time for moving meditation. I can help you understand both aspects to allow you to decide how your body can best use the asanas/poses and breathing techniques. Whether you are new or well-practiced, stiff or hypermobile, I will help you learn how to move into the asanas/poses safely and understand any challenging movement patterns to allow you to explore the posture in a new way. Energy Conservation – We are so accustomed to structuring our day around how much time we have instead of how much energy we have. I will help you learn how to structure your day around the energy you have. We will also look at the way you perform different activities and attempt to reduce the energy needed for those tasks or achieve a more optimal time structure per task. Basic Nutrition – We will assess whether you are meeting basic nutritional requirements and explore whether this may be contributing to your problem(s). Meditation Mindfulness – “I can’t meditate because I can’t get my head to stop thinking!” is something I hear frequently. That is OK! There are many forms of meditation. The types of meditation that require you to “clear your head” were designed for monks whose main objective was to connect with a higher power or enlightenment. This is a wonderful connection, but there are other benefits that you can achieve with different types of meditation that are designed for people who live in society and have attachments such as jobs, families and pets. Cognitive Behavioral – This is a powerful way to help you change habits and patterns. I use it most often to aid people in sleeping better, ending jaw clenching/grinding and stopping strong urges to run to the bathroom. We will look at how your body reacts to different places/situations/people and teach you a new pattern to replace the old habit. Training Plans – Do you have a fitness goal but don’t know where to start? Have you repeatedly been injured while training for a specific goal? Do you have a difficult time sticking with a plan? I can help you start or fine tune your training plans to keep you moving whether it be a 5k walk, marathon, triathlon, pull-ups or boxing match. We will explore your natural strengths as we determine what is needed to complete the task.

Psychotherapy/Counseling for Adults (in office appointments in KC/ Telehealth available anywhere in Kansas or Missouri) As a provider with EDS, I am sensitive and aware of the struggles associated with this diagnosis. I help people cope with what is an impactful, “invisible” illness in a medical system that often fails to recognize it and, worse, can be traumatizing. As a psychotherapist, I do not treat the physical manifestations of EDS. I assist with cognitive-based pain management, grief, and loss associated with a chronic illness, resource sharing, avenues for self-advocacy, validation, coping strategies and creating an understanding therapeutic environment to address EDS-related and non-EDS related therapy needs. I also specialize in trauma recovery (childhood trauma, domestic violence, healthcare/health trauma, combat trauma, violence trauma, attachment/developmental trauma). My clinical training and experience are geared toward working with motivated adults who want to better understand how their past impacts their life. Past painful or challenging experiences can grow roots and impact how we feel, act, and relate in the present, impacting our physical and emotional health. The extraordinarily good and hopeful news is that within each person is the ability for self-leadership and healing. Therapy just helps guide the journey. My primary psychotherapies are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Want to chat and figure out if we are a match for therapy? Call or text me at +1-816-793-6507 to schedule a 15-minute complimentary phone consultation. Payment Accepted: My full rate is $150/50-min for individual therapy ($175 for first intake appointment) and $175 for couples.

Sonoma Stretch
Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome affects the body’s connective tissue, leading to hypermobility, joint instability, and chronic pain. Traditional stretching often makes symptoms worse because it pulls too far on already-lax joints. Sonoma Stretch takes a different approach. Sonoma Stretch uses gentle traction, controlled ranges of motion, and fascial gliding instead of deep end-range stretching. This helps people with EDS improve proprioception, reduce muscle guarding, and release fascial tension without risking subluxations or overstretching. The slow, supported movements also help calm the nervous system, which can lower pain sensitivity and improve daily function. In short, Sonoma Stretch offers a safe, fascia-focused method that supports stability, body awareness, and comfort for individuals with EDS.

Light Spirit Studio, L.L.C.
Since around 2022 I have increasingly specialized my work as a Medical Massage Therapist with those with hypermobility and related conditions: mast cell activation syndrome, autoimmunity, migraine, chronic pain, neurovascular compression syndromes, food/drug/environmental sensitivity, joint instability, dysautonomia, gastroparesis, and more. I have gradually grown into Patient Advocacy as well as a result of seeing how underserved this community currently is. I completed a brief but very high quality training with the EDS Society in Health Advocacy in early 2025. I intend to pursue formal Board Certification in Patient Advocacy also in 2025. As a massage therapist , I work with pain and physical dysfunction related to all of the above conditions. My goals are to: help clients better understand and address their pain by understanding whatever physiological and mechanical principles we can observe, help clients reset dysfunctional movement patterns and gradually replace guarding patterns with more balanced posture, strength, and tone, while mechanically freeing any barriers to relief using scar release, golgi tendon organ techniques, visceral work, neurovascular compression testing and release, postural assessment, and many, many more tools learned or developed in over a decade of manual therapy experience, support clients in working toward further wellness by connecting them with local hypermobility-aware healthcare providers and coaches (physical therapists, occupational therapists, corrective exercise specialized personal trainers, feldenkrais, pilates, and Egoscue teachers, etc.) who can offer more in-depth training as needed–ideally in activities that clients will be inspired to maintain, help clients to reach the right healthcare providers to address any open healthcare concerns –whether we need to look together locally for an appropriately aware provider in the right specialty or far-afield to address less-understood implications of hypermobility. As a patient advocate, I’ve made my mission to improve local healthcare for hypermobility and related conditions by: hosting our local EDS Society affiliated group to share information and other resources and to grow community among those who mutually understand the particular challenges of these conditions and can offer suggestions and connections born of experience, connecting clients with local and distant healthcare providers whom I trust to work well with hypermobility and related conditions, working with clients on presenting often long and long unaddressed history of symptoms such that the big picture won’t be missed for its complexity, bringing healthcare providers’ attention to hypermobility related, presently underdiagnosed conditions connect clinicians with high quality resources on how to best serve those in our community educate community members in a position to screen for hypermobility and related conditions before they become health crises: midwives, doulas, teachers & athletic coaches…. facilitate the involvement of advanced specialists in offering local training to grow needed expertise in our own community. This mission is a labor of love. I have seen too many family members as well as clients go with unaddressed healthcare concerns for years, navigating very difficult situations for themselves since too little was known or the right connections weren’t made–in a system that further privileges those with uncomplicated health and resources. We’re entering a season in which to begin to build the manual for caring for the hypermobile, sensitive body from the start. I believe our sensitivity is a gift and that as we use it to understand our own better care we’ll better the world as well–bringing more of ourselves to all the good efforts we dream of. I’m glad to offer a brief free consultation for advocacy or bodywork services, and you can also connect for free by asking to have your email address put on our local group’s email list. In order to maximize accessibility I offer a sliding scale and I work with insurance wherever possible. Though credentialing opportunities are limited for massage therapists, I’m currently able to work with Cigna and Mi Via. I’m working toward being able to work under VA funding and with HSA and FSA payments. If superbills, receipts, or other documentation helps you to get reimbursement I’m glad to provide it.

She is continually advancing her training in the health field. She has completed specialized training in Acupuncture, Sacro-Occipital Technique, Nutrition, Chiropractic Pediatrics, Herbology, and Detoxification. As a Chiropractor, I specialize in a variety of techniques, to fit your specific needs. My area of Chiropractic specialty is SOT. SOT – Sacro Occipital Technique, is designed to reduce or eliminate pain or disorders in the cranium, spine, TMJ, head, neck, back and pelvis, and extremities (toes, foot, ankle, knee, and hip as well as fingers, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulders) and in specific cases it may improve organ function. With Acupuncture I studied Tibetan/Chinese style utilizing pulse and tongue diagnosis along with muscle testing. In Acupuncture there are energy pathways. Energy constantly flows up and down these pathways. When pathways become obstructed, deficient, excessive, or just unbalanced, Yin and Yang are said to be thrown out of balance. This causes illness. Acupuncture is said to restore the balance. We work with people on special diets, utilize bloodwork evaluations, 7-day food diaries, individual and group nutritional plans to help people understand the complexities of nutrition. We guide people on the information and misinformation that is often so prolific online. Identify cravings and how these are affecting our bodies. How it signals underlying health issues, deficiencies and how to correct them. Exploring supplements—pros and cons. How to make sure what you are taking is a functional nutrient vs a synthetic nutrient that your body cannot utilize.

Our dedicated team of physical therapists is committed to providing specialized care and support to help patients manage their conditions and improve their quality of life. Comprehensive Evaluation & Tailored Treatment Plans When you choose Inspira for EDS/HSD physical therapy, our first step is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation. We take the time to understand each patient’s specific symptoms, joint hypermobility, and any related complications they may be experiencing. This assessment allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses individual needs and goals. Our physical therapists are experienced in working with patients with EDS and HSD, and we understand that each patient’s condition is unique. Physical Therapy at Inspira Strengthening exercises, joint stabilization techniques, and manual therapy methods such as massage and proprioceptive functional manual therapy. The integration of Winback Tecar Therapy further enhances our treatment options, providing advanced technology to support tissue healing and pain relief. Our specialized Muldowney method focuses on personalized rehabilitation plans tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. We also incorporate Pilates Equipment Integration and Kinesiotaping to optimize movement patterns and support joint stability. In addition to the physical aspects of our treatments, we prioritize lifestyle modifications and education, helping patients identify pain triggers and adopt safe movement practices in their daily lives. Furthermore, promoting good sleep hygiene is a crucial aspect of our approach, recognizing the importance of restful sleep in facilitating the body’s natural healing processes. Through this comprehensive and holistic approach, we aim to empower our patients to achieve lasting pain relief, improved function, and an enhanced quality of life. Strengthening and Stabilizing Joints One of the primary goals of physical therapy for EDS/HSD is to strengthen and stabilize the affected joints. Hypermobility and joint instability can lead to pain, subluxations, and dislocations. Our therapists employ targeted exercises and techniques to build strength in the muscles surrounding the joints, providing greater support and reducing the risk of injuries. Pain Management Strategies Chronic pain is a common challenge for individuals with EDS and HSD. Our physical therapists are well-versed in various pain management techniques. By addressing pain, we aim to improve overall comfort and functionality, enabling patients to engage in daily activities with greater ease.

Mindfully
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with individuals living with chronic illness and chronic pain. Living with health challenges or adjusting to new stages of life can sometimes feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting and you don’t have to do it alone. I focus on helping clients reframe thought patterns, build practical coping strategies, and find realistic solutions that support a better quality of life. Through my lived experience with chronic illness I have noticed the gap in the mental health options for those seeking counseling and I hope to be one small change in this highly needed area. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and empowerment. Through my own life experiences, I understand how deeply your physical and emotional struggles can impact daily living, relationships, and self-identity. This lived perspective allows me to truly relate to my clients and meet them with empathy rather than judgment. Together, we work to reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, sustainable change so you can feel more supported, capable, and empowered in your life.

A Space for Reflection + Meaningful Change I offer in-person therapy in Portland Oregon, and I offer online therapy throughout Oregon and California. Therapy offers a quiet pause from the momentum of everyday life — a place to notice the patterns that shape how you live, relate, and understand yourself. In a thoughtful, engaged relationship, we make room for complexity and explore your experience with care, allowing new understandings to take form. People often come to therapy seeking change in their relationships, their work, or their relationship to themselves. My approach is grounded in the belief that two minds working together can make sense of complex emotional patterns in ways that are difficult to do alone. Relational psychodynamic therapy is a collaborative process in which we explore emotional and relational patterns as they emerge — both in your life outside therapy and in the here-and-now of our work together. By developing a deeper understanding of unconscious processes, early attachments, and how these shape present-day experiences, new possibilities for change can begin to take form. Patterns that feel disruptive or limiting often originate in early relationships and operate outside of conscious awareness. I understand the therapy relationship as an opportunity to observe, experience, and work through these patterns in real time. Within this space, you may find opportunities to relate to yourself and others with greater flexibility, clarity, and freedom. Core areas of my clinical work: Chronic Pain or illness Depression, anxiety , or persistent emotional discomfort Challenges in intimate relationships Loneliness , isolation, or difficulty being with oneself Experiences of grief and loss Divorce, breakups, and relational transitions Family conflict or the impact of complex family systems Managing the demands of high-pressure careers Trauma and its long-term emotional patterns Questions around gender, sexuality, or desire Kink-allied and sex-positive concerns Navigating childfree identity or decisions around family Supporting or being connected to family members with severe mental illness The inner life of artists and creative people A desire to integrate mindfulness or a more reflective way of living

Brainspotting therapy is a powerful, focused brain-body treatment method that allows us to identify, process and release core neurophysiological sources of emotional and physical pain. We can access and heal unhealthy coping strategies associated with early childhood trauma or PTSD. Brainspotting helps clients move beyond trauma, focus on post traumatic growth, flourish, live abundantly, and make positive transitions. Internal Family Systems (IFS) model is an evidence-based psychotherapy based on the idea that we each have a family of parts living with us that can be healed with our Self energy. An IFS therapist helps clients get to know the parts that protect them. The client is supported in helping those parts to relax and to separate their feelings and beliefs from the client, in order to open more space inside and access Self energy. As this happens, clients spontaneously report feeling calm, curious and compassionate towards their parts. For monogamous heterosexual, [neurodiverse](https://askcounseling.com/neurodiverse-couples-counseling/), and gay and lesbian couples therapy, I integrate [Gottman Method Couples therapy](https://askcounseling.com/couples-counseling/) with [Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO) therapy](https://askcounseling.com/intimacy-from-the-inside-out-ifio-couples-therapy/) based on [IFS (parts work)](https://askcounseling.com/ifs-therapy/) to help heal deep emotional hurts that are triggered in intimate relationships. Gottman Method Couples therapy is evidence-based for gay and lesbian couples, offering successful results in improving relationship satisfaction. Neurodiverse or mixed neurology couples learn new skills by practicing tools from my [Neurodiverse Couples Counseling](https://askcounseling.com/neurodiverse-couples-counseling/) Certification and improve the quality of their relationship. [Couples needing Financial Therapy](https://askcounseling.com/financial-therapy-for-couples/) learn how to have difficult money conversation while managing conflict in healthy ways. By focusing on each person’s unique strengths, we develop practical, creative, and immediate solutions, and build self-reliance and confidence. In sessions, I incorporate body awareness, grounding, and self-care. Making a life change is not trivial at any age, and you may wonder if it is even possible. Fortunately, according to neuroscience, our brains have the capacity to learn, grow, and change in every stage of life, and in that, there is hope. You can teach an old dog new tricks! In our initial sessions together we will develop your unique, clear, and measurable treatment plan that includes your personal goals, the behaviors you want to change, the negative beliefs that hold you back, and the difficult past events and traumas that you want to overcome. As we proceed with treatment, we will track and re-assess these periodically, until your objectives are met and your therapeutic journey is complete. You will always know where you are in the treatment process. In a space free of shame and judgment, we can address your life, work, money, or relationship issues, with psychotherapy customized for your individual needs. At Ask Counseling, you can ask [Elaine Korngold](https://askcounseling.com/elaine-korngold-therapist/) anything! I look forward to working with you.

Dazzling Spoons Counseling
I work with professional women who have chronic pain and/or chronic illnesses, many of whom have experienced some combination of being ignored, misdiagnosed, and gaslighted. My clients are trying to be kind to themselves, to trust themselves, and to find ways to get the support that they need without having to prove that their pain is real or that they’re trying hard enough. Before they came to see me, they feared they were out of options. They worried coming to see me would mean being told the same thing they’d heard so many times before, without any interest in or understanding of their actual experience: “Think more positive,” “lose weight,” and “just do yoga.” And they were pretty sure they’d never find someone who would believe them. Like my clients, you deserve to have a doctor’s appointment that doesn’t leave you in tears. And getting the accommodations and support you need to succeed at work doesn’t have to be totally out of your reach. I believe that all bodies are good bodies, and that includes your body. If you want to learn to be kind to and trust yourself—to believe that you are not and have never been the problem—I’d love to help you get there.

Heart Strings Therapy - Portland
My practice specializes in supporting individuals with EDS and chronic illnesses, offering a compassionate space to work through the unique challenges of these conditions. I am a licensed psychologist and have multi-state license in both California (#33158) and Oregon (#4026). I offer telehealth appointments throughout Oregon and California, as well as in-person availability in Ventura, CA. I understand that the physical pain, fatigue, and uncertainty of EDS can make it hard to get through daily life, let alone manage the endless stream of medical appointments and advocacy demands. Many of my clients come to me feeling emotionally isolated, burned out, and grieving the loss of a life they once envisioned. Together, we explore ways to reclaim control, build resilience, and create a life that honors your reality without losing sight of hope. Through therapy, I help clients: Process the grief and emotional weight of living with a chronic illness. Develop tools to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Strengthen self-compassion and reduce the isolation that comes with invisible conditions. Learn strategies to cope with the unpredictability of symptoms while finding joy and meaning in life again. You’ve likely spent so much energy trying to hold it all together—managing your symptoms, keeping up with life, and trying to be understood by those around you. What if you didn’t have to spend every ounce of energy just surviving? Together, we’ll carve out a path that helps you find moments of calm, connection, and clarity, even amidst the challenges of EDS.

In addition to manual therapies, I utilize silicone cupping, energy work/Reiki, aromatherapy, facilitated stretching, breathwork coaching and sound healing to maximize sessions and promote wellbeing.
As a person with hEDS, I have the lived experience of the nuance and mystery of hypermobility. In my clinical practice, I find it extremely rewarding to work with all types of EDS, because of its relationship to connective tissue and the nervous system. I blend Swedish techniques (to relax the body and mind) with targeted myofascial release (to mitigate connective tissue dysfunction) and neuromuscular therapies (to ensure proper function of all stabilizing muscles and elimination of trigger points). I also find that applying craniosacral therapy with EDS clients assists in gently realigning the bones and structures of the spine, skull, pelvis, as well as the rest of the body. I am always seeking to improve clients’ proprioception and internal awareness, while alleviating pain. I also teach bodywork at the local massage college, and am excited to share information and self care strategies with my clients, particularly since I myself have recovered from many hypermobility-related injuries and dysfunctions. I hope to provide holistic support in accessing easeful movement, helpful resources, and increased quality of life.

Lemongrass Chiropractic offers a patient-centered, evidence-informed approach, blending traditional and innovative techniques to provide effective, gentle treatments. We are known for our expertise and compassionate care, and are dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of our community from our clinic in Portland, Oregon, USA. Treating clinician Dr. Emily Todd is a person with mild HSD herself (and some of the common comorbidities of HSD), and as such understands the delicate nature of treating hypermobility, especially with chiropractic care. Your intuition and body sense are welcome and wanted in the treatment room, Dr. Emily knows that when a person is hypermobile, things can shift day to day, and what was a good idea for treatment last week may be the wrong choice today. You will never be pressured to receive treatment or adjustments that don’t feel good to your body, or to receive more care than what the body needs today. Dr. Emily offers gentle adjusting techniques including repetitive mobilization and instrument-assisted adjusting, in addition to more traditional chiropractic adjustments, to provide the blend of treatment that works for all parts of the hypermobile system.

Living Energy Wellness
I’m passionate about helping individuals with EDS and the interconnected triad of MCAS, and POTS understand the root causes behind their complex symptoms. Having personally recovered from this triad myself, I recognize that these conditions aren’t separate problems but interconnected expressions of disrupted cellular energy and environmental mismatch. My approach focuses on addressing EDS as the foundational connective tissue instability that often triggers the immune hyperreactivity of MCAS and autonomic dysfunction of POTS. Rather than just managing symptoms, I work with clients to restore their body’s bioenergetic capacity through environmental optimization, including light therapy, EMF mitigation, and circadian rhythm support. As a Board Certified Quantum Biology Practitioner, I believe every person deserves to understand their body’s incredible capacity for healing when given the right environmental conditions. Through education and individualized care, my clients gain the knowledge and tools needed to break free from the cycles that keep them trapped in chronic illness. Services include environmental assessments/mitigation, red light therapy, and personalized education and coaching protocols. Based in Portland, Oregon, serving clients nationwide.

Active Pain Relief
We are an integrative pain management clinic specializing in non-opioid pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches to chronic pain. Our focus includes the treatment of ligamentous instability and joint hypermobility, which are often associated with significant, persistent pain. One of our core therapies is ultrasound-guided injection of Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) , a regenerative technique that has shown excellent results in reducing pain and improving joint stability in patients with ligament laxity. We also offer prolotherapy , another proven method to stimulate healing in weakened connective tissues. Ultrasound guidance ensures precise delivery of these treatments to the affected structures, enhancing effectiveness and patient outcomes. For patients for whom injection therapies are not appropriate, we provide individualized non-opioid pharmacologic pain management tailored to each person’s specific condition and goals. While we do not currently treat comorbidities associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), we have had notable success in managing the pain related to joint hypermobility and ligament laxity often seen in hypermobile patients. Our goal is to restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life using safe, evidence-informed therapies.

Healing Motion was founded by J. Christopher Potts, PT, DPT in response to a need for comprehensive physical therapy and wellness services all under one roof. He feels strongly that the traditional way physical therapy is provided does not place the patient and their healing process as the first and most important priority. Healing Motion was founded to create a treatment environment that fosters a collaborative relationship between patient and therapist, and allows the therapist the freedom to craft the best possible plan of care for each patient. This requires hour-long, one-on-one therapy sessions with each patient. When a patient finishes physical therapy at Healing Motion, they leave with a wealth of management techniques and a complete education in their own care. In addition to continuing with a home program, some individuals find it beneficial to have periodic Myofascial Release and massage sessions to maintain the progress they have achieved in therapy. Other patients who have become hooked on Pilates and Gyrotonic continue their study, maintenance, and care at Healing Motion with one of our certified instructors privately or in a group lesson.

Empower Your Healing Journey with Expert Guidance As a Doctor of Physical Therapy living with hEDS, POTS, CCI, bilateral jugular vein stenosis, Pelvic Venous Disease (Pelvic Congestion Syndrome/May-Thurner Syndrome), chronic CSF leaks, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension , I intimately understand the challenges of hypermobility-related conditions. With 15 years of clinical experience in orthopedics, pelvic health, and hypermobility/dysautonomia , I combine science-backed strategies with compassionate, individualized care to help you regain control of your health and befriend your body. Before becoming a PT, hypermobility served me well as a professional dancer. Now, with 30 years of experience teaching movement, I take a holistic, evidence-based approach —blending therapeutic exercise, Pilates, yoga therapy, mindfulness, and vagal nerve stimulation —to help retrain the autonomic nervous system so that it can shift to a more balanced state. Regulating the nervous system from a state of chaos to calm allows your protective mechanisms- like pain, ANS dysfunction, and MCAS- to recalibrate and become helpful warning signals rather than hypersensitive alarms that sound off inappropriately, causing chronic symptoms rather than helpful alerts. My ideal clients are curious learners eager to understand how their hypermobility and physiological adaptations have shaped them. Education has been a vital part of my own healing, and I love helping others harness their resilience to retrain their nervous system and optimize function. Research shows that neuroplasticity is not diminished in hypermobile individuals —our brains and bodies can rewire and adapt. There is hope. 📌 Telehealth PT is available for patients in South Carolina and North Carolina. Virtual health coaching is available regardless of location. Learn more & book here: [Health Coaching with Dr. Cat](https://dr-cat.embodiaapp.com/patientportal/clinicpackages). My research focuses on autonomic regulation, vagal nerve stimulation, neuroplasticity, and healing from trauma —including the medical trauma of delayed diagnosis, conflicting messages from healthcare professionals, and misdiagnosis or mistreatment.

Spiro Physical Therapy
I have been practicing for 13 years and working with patients with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome for 12. Over these 12 years my knowledge of how to best help patients with EDS has been shaped by my patients, other practitioners and any educational resources I can find. As a Physical Therapist my focus is on improving motor control and strength through neuromotor re-education, guided movement patterns, education and biofeedback. With this approach our goal is decrease in pain, improvement in proprioceptive awareness and regaining function. At Spiro patients are seen one on one for an hour and given individualized treatment programs. The clinic is out-of-network, but with the individualized approach we find that patients have more success more quickly resulting in a savings of time and often a savings of money as compared to a typical in-network Physical Therapy clinic. If you are interested, reach out for a free 20 minute phone consultation. I would be happy to hear your discuss how PT could help.

NeuroSource LLC
We are an integrative, functional neurotherapy practice and have been doing this work over 30 years near Memphis, TN. I am a master’s level psychologist, licensed massage therapist (Craniosacral 1 and TMJ/headache massage) and frequency specific microcurrent provider. I have EDS hypermobility and utilize my FSM knowledge and technology to minimize pain, vascular health and vagal health that are my weak areas due to EDS. Our Frequency Specific Microcurrent leader, Dr. Carol McMakin also has EDS and spends a good bit of time exploring, teaching and treating EDS. In our hands-on trainings we find that EDS is far more common than we are often told. I find that in my practice as well. When people present with chronic pain, or young people with acute pain, I assess using the beighton score and we then use the Frequency Specific Microcurrent according to their presentation to bring down their pain and support/strengthen their weak systems. I also address lifestyle with my clients as an Epigenetic Wellness Coach. My husband is a PhD neuropsychologist and Diplomate in Quantitative EEG. We use Neurofeedback and Neurostimulation to retrain the brain and nervous system for many conditions from anxiety and ADHD to chronic pain, traumatic brain injury recovery, stroke recovery and PTSD. We love to treat in-person in our office but we are also able to treat remotely if clients are willing to invest in a home microcurrent unit called the iCare pad. Only FSM trained providers can purchase that pad because, as all true FSM, it must be programmed for each unique person. This is highly individualized care. That is what makes it so effective. We do free phone consultations to see if we are a good fit and to see if we are your next best step. We are far more interested in getting people the help they need than getting new clients, so if we are not your next best step, we will refer you to who is.

I am a registered and licensed dietitian nutritionist with specialized experience in hEDS and Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBIs).

My work centers on creating a supportive, accessible eating environment and strengthening the mind–body connection to help reduce GI symptoms and improve daily functioning. I understand that the social, sensory, and environmental aspects of eating influence the body just as much as the nutrients themselves and I help clients explore all of these layers with compassion and practicality. If you’re looking for guidance that honors your lived experience, supports your autonomy, and helps you understand how your eating environment and food choices impact both mind and body, I would be glad to partner with you.

Mind Body Physiotherapy
Mind Body Physiotherapy is a physical therapy clinic based in Austin, TX, with a strong and intentional focus on helping people who are struggling with chronic pain conditions, especially those who haven’t found lasting relief through traditional approaches. The clinic takes a whole-person, biopsychosocial approach , meaning they consider the mind, body, and environment when treating pain, rather than just focusing on isolated body parts. Our Philosophy: You are not broken. Pain does not always equal damage, and healing is possible, even in persistent or complex cases. Individualized care matters. Treatment is always one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. You are heard. Your story, experience, and goals shape your care. Education is power. Patients are taught to understand their pain and learn how to move and live with confidence again. Healing is a partnership. The therapist and patient work together toward long-term outcomes, not just short-term relief. Mind Body Physiotherapy commonly helps with: Neck and jaw pain (TMJ) Chronic headaches and migraines Pelvic pain and dysfunction (including conditions like endometriosis, IC, postpartum issues) Vestibular disturbances (e.g., dizziness, balance issues, visual sensitivity) Back pain that hasn’t responded well to traditional treatment Nervous system dysregulation (including patients with POTS, trauma history, or central sensitization) Treatment Approach: Manual therapy (gentle, nervous-system-friendly hands-on work) Neuromuscular re-education and stabilization exercises Breathwork and somatic tools for regulating the nervous system Patient education to reduce fear and build body trust Functional movement retraining Vestibular therapy and visual-motor integration for those with dizziness or head/neck trauma

Roots Integrative Physical Therapy
This is a private, integrative clinic focused on providing specialized and individualized care for complex conditions. I treat in person in Boerne, TX (just outside San Antonio) and provide virtual wellness, coaching and doula services around the world. I have a limited amount of openings in Austin for in-person treatment as well. My primary specialty is treatment for those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, POTS, Dysautonomia, and/or MCAS. I myself have hEDS and POTS, and have spent many years studying the physiology, symptoms, and various treatment approaches to managing this condition. I have now regained 95% of my function and am passionate about empowering patients to do the same. After years of working with my fellow zebras, I have developed a unique approach that is approachable and mutlifaceted, addressing the mind, body and nervous system from various angles at once so that we can truly get to the ‘root’ of each person’s issues, and from there build a strong foundation and grow. I use a blend of vagus and nervous system retraining, vestibular/balanace rehab, visceral (organ) mobilization, craniosacral therapy, myofascial therapy, pelvic floor therapy, scar tissue release, and diet/lifestyle modification education. I often provide patients with gradual and progresive video home exercises they can safely do at home, focusing first on the nervous system and alignment before any strengthening to prevent the flare ups common with EDS and PT. If virtual, I can provide much of this education and exercise coaching online, and can teach you and/or loved ones how to do self releases of your muscles and organs at home. I am also passionate about helping problem solve with my virtual patients, working with them to find a team of well-trained local doctors, medical massage therapists, or other practitioners that can provide many of the specialized techniques I can, while I help guide the general direction of care. All sessions are one-on-one, and I am cash-based/ out of network with all insurances, however I can provide superbills for reimbursement to those in Texas. Sessions vary in length from 15 -120 minute depending on what the patient needs, and I also offer all-day intensive therapy options for my out of town patients who want to fly in for some hands-on work, as long as it is scheduled 1-2 months in advance. ‘Bend but not break’ is my personal motto – The strongest trees in the world can bend like crazy in a storm without snapping, it’s a superpower, but only if they have a deep and strong root system. We are bendy, we get thrown off easily by the external environment, yes – but that also means that with the right tool box and foundation, we can adapt and get back to thriving quicker than most. It often means we are highly empathetic, amazing friends and leaders, and pioneers in the health and wellness field because of how much we notice that which others block out. Its a double-edged sword and a huge burden, but I want to help others carry it so we can find the blessings in it as well.

Compass Pain and Spine
Dr. Ryan Tran is double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology. After completing medical school at Texas Tech School of Medicine in 2003, Dr. Tran completed his residency in anesthesiology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in 2007. Subsequently in 2008, Dr. Tran completed his pain fellowship at the prestigious pain management fellowship program at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. In the pain world, the Texas Tech pain management fellowship is well thought of because of Dr. Gabor Racz. Dr. Racz is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the specialty of pain medicine. Dr. Tran was fortunate enough to train under him and to have learned his innovative techniques and many “secrets” towards managing patients in pain. After finishing his pain fellowship in 2009, Dr. Tran began working at Scott & White Hospital in Killeen, Texas as an attending physician. During his time there, Dr. Tran helped thousands of patients in Central Texas. Since his pain clinic in Killeen was directly across from Fort Hood (the largest military installation in the world), he was especially honored to have helped many active military soldiers and veterans find innovative options for their chronic pain. While working at Baylor Scott & White, Dr. Tran was also actively involved in training residents and pain fellows as an assistant professor at Texas A&M Health Sciences Center College of Medicine. Worth mentioning, Dr. Tran was one of the original four attendings who helped start the pain management fellowship at Texas A&M Health Sciences Center College of Medicine at Baylor Scott & White in 2012. He enjoyed teaching his students the art of pain medicine, the innovative techniques he learned from Dr. Racz, and new ones he acquired over the last decade. Dr. Tran was on staff teaching residents and treating patients at Baylor Scott & White until the end of 2022 when he moved his family to the DFW area to be closer to family. He is married to a supportive and loving wife and is the father to two active boys. When he is not caring for patients, Dr. Tran enjoys getting bested in golf by his two elementary school aged boys who play golf competitively. It is Dr. Tran’s desire to guide patients towards compassionate and innovative care. He looks forward to sharing all of the “secrets” that he has learned with his patients and colleagues.

I have over 15 years of experience as a dentist, with a background in general dentistry and oral surgery. My passion for orofacial pain and sleep medicine stems from my desire to provide comprehensive and evidence-based care to patients who often struggle to find effective solutions for their complex and multifactorial problems. I completed my residency at UCLA, where I learned from leading experts in the field and gained exposure to a variety of clinical cases and research projects. I also spent a year as a visiting scholar at NYU, where I deepened my knowledge and skills in diagnosing and treating orofacial pain and sleep disorders. I am committed to staying updated on the latest advances and best practices in this rapidly evolving specialty, and to educating and empowering my patients and colleagues on the importance of addressing orofacial pain and sleep issues.

Connective Health Consulting offers virtual client care in these areas of practice, with a carefully tailored approach to address the specific needs of this population. As a patient with Hypermobile EDS, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and Hyperadrenergic POTS, among other comorbidities, I am well aware of the adaptations and special considerations needed to support these patients. I was in and out of physical therapy for injuries and pain since childhood. It wasn’t until I completed the Clarkson research study with Jeannie Di Bon and Dr. Russek, that I began to find improved joint stability. I am delighted to be taking the EDS Society Fundamentals ECHO Fundamentals of the Integral Movement Method Course and I hope that my practice, Connective Health Consulting will help support others looking to find support in their journey to improved strength and stability. I want to help others facing chronic illness regain their strength through personal training, support clients navigating the healthcare system, and provide health and wellness coaching that empowers clients to meet their goals. Do you have dreams that you want to work towards? Are you falling through the cracks in our medical system? Are you struggling to remain working? Have you plateaued in Physical Therapy?

This practice allows her to continue to provide her patients with the quality care and services they deserve. Every patient receives a one-on-one appointment with an individualized treatment plan. Dr. Miner looks at the body as a whole in order to get to the root cause of the dysfunction. One cannot properly treat the shoulder without treating the spine, or the knee without treating the hip and foot. Dr. Miner has extensive training and experience in treating the spine, from cervical to sacral disorders. She enjoys making treatment programs a unique and enjoyable experience for each of her patients. Jennifer believes in hands on treatment, and educating her patients on independent management/treatment of their current dysfunctions, as well as, prevention of future injuries.

Dr. Miner has been involved with cheerleading at all levels, both as a participant and as a coach, for more than 20 years. Her involvement has contributed to understanding the psyche of athletes, their injuries and their desires to heal and get back to their program as quickly as possible. She is currently providing training and support to her son’s travel baseball team to improve their performance and prevent injuries.

Rising Sun Therapy & Wellness, LLC
In my practice, I work with many individuals navigating chronic health conditions, including those with Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome in all its forms. I understand that living with chronic pain can feel like being in a constant tug-of-war with your own body, when it seems to resist or even retaliate against your best efforts to care for it. Together, we explore ways to rebuild trust in your body, find steadier ground amid the uncertainty, and create compassionate systems of support that honor both your physical and emotional realities. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and deeply attuned to the mind–body connection. Whether you’re coping with unpredictable pain flares, fatigue, or medical trauma, we work to make space for grief and frustration while cultivating resilience, gentleness, and agency in the face of ongoing challenges. Healing may not mean “fixing” what hurts, but learning to live in partnership with yourself in ways that feel steadier, kinder, and more possible.

Born Bendy
I am a non-clinical movement professional who specializes in supporting individuals with hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and co-occurring conditions such as POTS. As both a hypermobile person myself and a parent to a hypermobile teen, I bring deep personal understanding to the work I do. I recognize the unique frustrations, challenges, and emotional landscape that both adults and teens experience when trying to feel stable and confident in their bodies. This lived experience fuels a compassionate, patient, and highly individualized approach. Professionally, I have extensive experience training hypermobile clients under the guidance and collaboration of physical therapists. My role focuses on bridging the gap between physical therapy and real life—helping clients carry over therapeutic recommendations, build stability, improve proprioception, and develop functional movement patterns long after insurance-based care has ended. I frequently support clients managing joint instability, chronic pain, fatigue, pelvic floor considerations, and autonomic challenges, always staying within my scope of practice while empowering them to continue progressing. I work with teens, adults, and families who want to better understand their bodies and move through the world with greater ease and confidence. My training is rooted in empathy, education, and an unwavering belief that bendy bodies are capable and deserving of support that honors their unique needs. I currently train out of The Juniper House in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake, conveniently located near Target, where I provide a welcoming and accessible environment for clients seeking ongoing guidance beyond the clinic.

Origins Physical Therapy, LLC
Origins Physical Therapy is a solo practice giving 1 on 1 care for 60 minutes with an integrative full body approach for treatment of all causes of chronic pain but particular interest with pain and dysfunction associated with Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome ( hEDS) and or hypermobile spectrum disorders (HSD). Origins PT utilizes a multi system approach to treat the body with Fascial Counterstrain (FCS) being the main intervention used. Fascial Counterstrain is a gentle manual technique that can treat fascia in every system in the body. Fascia is on muscles, tendons and ligaments but it is also on bone, organs, veins, arteries and peripheral and nerves in the central nervous system. With pain and dysfunction the body can trap inflammation and create tenderpoints throughout the body. Origins PT will assess the body and identify the areas of pain through a comprehensive diagnostic assessment and identify the areas of dysfunction. FCS is performed by gently gliding the tissues in a pain-free direction to drain the trapped inflammation which in turn helps decrease pain, improve ROM, calm the nervous system, improve blood flow and lymphatic restrictions and thus improve function, strength and overall resiliency in the body. Gentle strength training is also addressed in line with the patient’s goals.

The founders of Advantage Physical Therapy have developed a reputation for excellence in physical therapy within the surrounding community, and regionally. They have developed their reputation in the Washington DC Metro area and beyond based on the experience they provide for their patients. They strive to individualize the care of each patient and give service above what would be considered the “normal” physical therapy experience. At Advantage Physical Therapy, they believe the initial evaluation is crucial to achieving a successful outcome. During a patient’s initial evaluation, the patient and therapist will have an exclusive one-on-one interaction and together design a customized treatment program to meet patient needs. Once the treatment program begins, patients will continue with their physical therapist and will not be assigned to aides or trainers. Furthermore, unless the patient requests otherwise, the physical therapist that performed the initial evaluation will treat him or her during every visit, creating a continuity of care that is the basis of a strong patient-therapist relationship which will enhance both the treatment and overall experience.

Deb Blaha
I find that the Ehlers-Danlos patients I work with are highly-sensitive (in a good way!) and very in-tune with their bodies. They know what is supportive to them and what is too much or aggravating to their systems. I am also highly-sensitive and work at the subtle, energetic and spiritual levels. I use craniosacral therapy and somatic bodywork to help reduce pain and regain function and well-being. I am also skilled at releasing trauma that is often stored in the body. As a Naturopathic Physician licensed in Washington State I specialize in advanced bodywork and do not practice as a primary care physician. I enjoy working with the complexity of Ehlers-Danlos patients and look forward to hearing from you!

I help people managing frustrating chronic health conditions to regulate their nervous system and redesign their life so they can achieve their goals. I specialize in working with individuals managing chronic and invisible illnesses including EDS/hypermobility and related conditions like POTS/dysautonomia, , MCAS, migraine, pain, fatigue, and more. My overarching goal it to help my clients (re)connect to their bodies and (re)build body trust so they can feel empowered and confident to do what they love. My approach emphasizes nervous system regulation, increasing stability through movement strategies and adaptations, and practical lifestyle modifications. I incorporate nervous system and sensory regulation into to my work because I find that people often don’t understand how much these systems are impacting how they feel and act every day. Together, we create and implement a set of strategies to regulate your system, get you moving safely, and help you navigate health ups and downs so your life becomes more aligned with how you want to be living. In addition to a nervous system focus, I help my clients to increase insight around their triggers and build a wide toolkit of symptom management strategies, manage fatigue through activity pacing and energy conservation, improve their sleep, safely implement a movement program, and more!

No one cares how much you know…until they know how much you care! We Care! Dr. Bloxham understands from his own experience the impact of chronic pain on quality of life and overall physical and mental health. During his years as a local general dentist, Dr. Bloxham was loved and appreciated by his staff and patients for his honest, caring demeanor and his pleasant sense of humor, which made patients feel welcome and at ease. In 2015, following multiple neck surgeries, he was forced to retire from general dentistry due to his own chronic pain issues. As a devoted lifelong learner, Dr. Bloxham took this as an opportunity to utilize and expand upon his past education in order to help make a difference for other chronic pain sufferers. He subsequently completed an additional three years of specialty post-doctoral training with the University of Southern California in their Master’s of Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine program. Having a daughter with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and caring for many patients who share this condition, Dr. Bloxham has gained a deep understanding of how EDS contributes to chronic pain and related conditions. This personal and professional insight has strengthened his passion for helping patients manage complex pain disorders and improve their quality of life. Dr. Bloxham’s clinical focus is on the treatment and management of orofacial pain conditions, including musculoskeletal pain (TMD/TMJ, myofascial pain), atypical tooth pain, trigeminal nerve disorders, and neurovascular and neuropathic pain. He also specializes in managing chronic headache and migraine conditions, recognizing their close connection to TMJ and cervical dysfunction. In addition, he treats oral medicine disorders such as Burning Mouth Syndrome and autoimmune conditions that affect the mouth. He is highly trained and experienced in the fabrication of TMJ orthotics, dental sleep appliances for the management of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, Botox injections for migraines and orofacial pain conditions, intra-articular injections, trigger point injections, and nerve blocks. Dr. Bloxham is a member of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP), the American Headache Society (AHS), the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Washington State Dental Association, and the Benton-Franklin Dental Society. Dr. Bloxham loves living in the Tri-Cities area. He and his wife Marianne are proud to call it home and have been blessed to raise their family here. They enjoy playing on the river in the summer and exploring various outdoor activities throughout the year. They love spending time with their four children and their pack of dogs.

Many of our EDS patients find their way to us due to our Advanced specialization in John Barnes’ Myofascial Release work as many of these patients respond wonderfully to this gentle, long-lasting relief provided by this approach. However due to our first-hand experience with EDS with several of our family members and many patients over the years, we also know how important a gentle stabilization program is for these individuals. We are proud of our many successful ‘graduates’ that have moved from a life where they hurt all over, were limited in function, felt like their whole body was ‘falling apart’ and very worried about their future, moving into being able to sleep and function again, to regain strength and to be hopeful for the future once more. Every person’s journey is a bit different. Some need pelvic floor and jaw pain/headache specialization support. Others need ongoing care. Some graduate fully and are able to keep up with their stability on their own once we have done the hands-on work to get them feeling better. We are grateful to go along with you on the journey, to be a friend, a sounding board, a resource and help however we can along your way to help you meet your goals. With 15 and 20 years of experience as Doctors of Physical Therapy, Doctors Jereme & Sarah Trunk work together as a team to truly get to the root cause of your challenges. We have successfully treated thousands of bodies head to toe and love working with people who think that they have tried everything, as we can almost always ‘think outside the box’ and find other things to address & other avenues to pursue in a new way. We offer free consultations as we are firm believers that no one can ever feel confident that they are making the right decision until they have all the information needed.

Dr. Hopkins seamlessly integrates her medical training with her focus on nutrition, mindfulness, movement, connection to spirit and community to optimize your health and wellbeing. Dr. Hopkins’ training through the Institute for Functional Medicine has allowed her to combine her love of the patient’s narrative as a foundational piece of healing, with the evaluation of the microbiome, genetic make-up, and metabolomics. She believes that health is a dynamic balance and that medicine should be patient-centered versus disease-centered. Throughout Dr. Hopkins’ training, her work with integrative medicine has continued to evolve into a strong interest in complex chronic disease with an emphasis in autoimmunity and diseases of the gastrointestinal system.

Burkhardt Physical Therapy Center is a privately owned outpatient clinic that specializes in treating chronic pain with a unique approach. Our team of 5 therapists and 1 therapist assistant treat a variety of conditions and adapt to people and circumstances. We have developed a sense of acceptance in interacting with patients, doctors and providers of all kinds leading to openness to other ideas and treatment styles. Getting to know individuals and learning from their previous experiences helps us meld together a plan which ultimately better serves our patients. We use a combination of advanced and highly skilled techniques that patients respond well to. These include Myofascial Release to the neuromuscular system with cupping, deep releases, skin rolling, and deep trigger point release; Dry Needling Technique (Intramuscular Trigger Point Release); Jones and Fascial Strain Counterstrain; CranioSacral Therapy; Muscle Energy Technique; and Graston (Instrument Assisted) Techniques. We also combine the above techniques with joint mobilizations, home exercise, self-management education, and Kinesio taping to assist our patients in achieving relief and success with their physical therapy treatments.
