Learn to trust your body, understand your symptoms, and move with confidence
Our approach combines movement, fascial work, proprioception, stability, and nervous system support to create sustainable change without chasing symptoms
Learn to trust your body, understand your symptoms, and move with confidence
Our approach combines movement, fascial work, proprioception, stability, and nervous system support to create sustainable change without chasing symptoms
For optimal results, expect a plan of care of approximately 8–12 visits. This allows us time to address longstanding patterns and build sustainable strength, stability, proprioception, nervous system support, and motor control.
Treatment may include individualized exercise, visceral manipulation (organ mobility), improving myofascial and fascial patterns, cupping, somatic processing, dry needling and more based on your body’s needs.
Our evaluations are designed to begin a plan of care, not as a one-time consultation. You can learn more about what to expect here.
If you’re yet able to commit to follow-up care, our $59 Navigating POTS course is a great place to start.
With a greater range of motion to manage, joints can end up relying on bone closure or hyperextension for stability, or waiting for the nerve itself to stretch before tendons can react and protect these sensitive tissues. Hypermobile individuals often report “muscular tightness” despite appearing flexible, due to neural tension and perceived flexibility limitations.
Hypermobility can affect any joint in the body but frequently creates issues in the cervical spine, shoulder complex, and knee joints. Limited proprioceptive awareness of joints in space is a frequent cause of injury in people with hypermobility. This altered perception can lead to frequent injuries due to lack of attention, quick directional changes, or poor balance protection responses.
Ligamentous laxity can lead to subluxations and dislocations, or a nagging sensation of instability. Joints that don’t feel safe can benefit from techniques to improve proprioception, including stabilization exercises, external feedback techniques like kinesiotaping, and motor control programming. Learning how to manage joints that experience instability and activate musculature appropriately before activity is essential to staying active and enjoying being active.
What Is It?
POTS is a condition where the heart beats abnormally fast in an attempt to regulate blood pressure drops that occur when an individual moves from lying down to sitting up, or from sitting to standing. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for managing these blood pressure changes, but with this syndrome, the connective tissue in the blood vessels may struggle to constrict properly. This makes it difficult to regulate blood volume and can lead to symptoms like lightheadedness, fainting, heat intolerance, or fatigue.
“Coat hanger pain” is a symptom often associated with hypermobility and can be linked to orthostatic hypotension disorders like POTS. This type of pain feels sharp or cramping in the neck and shoulders, and it stems from reduced blood return during prolonged sitting or standing. It can be aggravated by suboptimal exercise prescription.
Many people complain that:
Swelling or changes in skin color in the legs after prolonged sitting or standing
Lightheadedness with quick position changes
Limited tolerance to exercise, especially high-intensity interval training or overhead work
Symptoms often relieved by lying down, crossing the legs, or changing positions
What is it?
Hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue and can lead to joint hypermobility, chronic joint pain, and possible recurrent dislocations. Individuals with hEDS typically exhibit hyperextension of multiple joints, extra stretchy skin, and chronic joint pain.
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) encompass individuals who do not meet the diagnostic criteria (including genetic testing) for hEDS but have many of the same symptoms, such as joint instability, chronic fatigue, and pain. Both hEDS and HSD can lead to symptomatic issues, including joint laxity and impaired spatial awareness (impaired proprioception).

What Is It?
Hypermobility and limited body awareness frequently result in pelvic floor gripping for stability and difficulty actively relaxing the pelvic bowl. Chronic pelvic floor tightness contributes to stress incontinence, urge issues, and even limited bladder awareness. Additionally, heightened pelvic floor tone can limit pleasure during sex and contribute to pudendal nerve compression, which can mimic UTI-like symptoms. Learning how to manage these symptoms is key to lifelong management of pelvic dysfunction, especially in this population.
While some symptoms of pelvic floor tightness improve with pregnancy due to increased hormones like relaxin, low back or mid-back pain may increase due to extreme postural demands and pelvic instability. Connective tissue healing postpartum takes 6 to 9 months, and individuals with hypermobility can experience longer healing times. They may also be more prone to pelvic floor laxity. Physical therapy for hypermobility conditions can help.
Many people complain that they:
Heaviness or dullness in the pelvic floor after workouts or prolonged time on your feet
Burning around the bladder and urethra after stressful days or post-intercourse
Sudden urge to pee despite no prior warning, which may lead to leaking

This is when the pelvic organs start to “fall down” into the vagina. The image shows the different types of pelvic organ prolapse.
Many people complain that they:
People with EDS often don’t have the same stability due to their altered connective tissue. Because of this, people with HSD or EDS can compensate unconsciously by over-recruiting or gripping their pelvic floor muscles.
According to recent statistics from the National Association for Continence, over 25 million adult Americans experience temporary or chronic urinary incontinence. This is a common, widespread, but oftentimes very overlooked and misunderstood issue. What most people don’t know is that there are different therapeutic solutions to help reduce daily leakage, or even eliminate it altogether. …
Will I ever get back to working out without leaking? “Why did I just pee all over myself after exercising?” ”I want to get back in shape after just delivering my baby!” ”Will I ever get back to working out without peeing myself?“ These questions are all too common when we speak to our postpartum…
