Loose joints, frequent subluxations, chronic pain, fatigue, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Dysautonomia are common in people with EDS. At EmpowerHeal Physical Therapy we provide specialized physical therapy for hypermobility and EDS, designed to improve stability, proprioception, joint protection and strength.
Hypermobility is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Generic physical therapy plans can actually make symptoms worse. That’s why we take a different approach:
Thorough Assessments:We assess sitting, standing postures, gait, tension holding patterns in the body, joint range of motion, strength.
Tailored Strengthening Programs: Low-load, progressive strengthening exercises to protect joints and prevent dislocations.
Neuromuscular Control Training: Improve body awareness and coordination to reduce injury risk.
Pain Management & Pacing Strategies: Learn how to avoid flare-ups while staying active.
Hands-On Manual Therapy: When appropriate, we use gentle manual techniques to release tension and improve joint function. Techniques such as visceral mobilization, lymphatic mobilization might be helpful.
