Whole Child LA Pain Clinic
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.

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.

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

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.

New Ground Physical Therapy - Lake Oswego
At New Ground Physical Therapy, we take a whole-body approach to treating chronic pain, joint instability, and movement dysfunction—especially in those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and generalized hypermobility. Our care goes beyond symptom management. Using Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) principles, we assess how your body’s alignment, breathing, and neuromuscular patterns interact to create either stress or stability. By improving areas of hypomobility and enhancing proprioceptive control, we can help reduce excessive strain on hypermobile joints. Each session is one-on-one and fully individualized to help you build strength, improve body awareness, and restore balanced movement patterns that last. Our goal is to help you move with less pain, better stability, and greater confidence in your daily life.

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.

Phoenix Physical Therapy and Wellness - TX - Boerne
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.

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.

East-West Rheumatology
As a physician board-certified in internal medicine and rheumatology with additional expertise in acupuncture and herbal medicine, Dr. Yousef Zarbalian is uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive medical care for a wide variety of medical conditions. There are many medical conditions for which modern rheumatology has limited treatment options. The ability to look through a different lens (traditional medicine which includes acupuncture, nutritional modification, and herbal medicine) at each person’s unique condition opens up options which would not even be considered in a standard western medical clinic. We can provide the best of both approaches (western pharmacology as well as holistic modalities) to our patients. With regards to hypermobility syndrome and EDS, Dr. Zarbalian brings a wealth of experience as an internist and rheumatologist with diagnosing and managing these conditions. Except for medicare, we are a Direct Pay practice. This allows us to provide high-quality, time-intensive care to our patients.
