Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome & Hypermobility Treatment at Weeks Wellness

Specialized Care for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility

Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can feel overwhelming. Chronic pain, frequent injuries, joint instability, fatigue, digestive issues, pelvic floor dysfunction, and nervous system symptoms often affect every aspect of daily life.

At Weeks Wellness, we understand that EDS is much more than being "double-jointed." Our multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive, individualized care designed to help people with hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome from a holistic perspective including pelvic floor, nutrition, and athletic training.

Whether you've recently been diagnosed or have spent years searching for answers, we're here to help.

How We Treat Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and hypermobility at Weeks Wellness

Our physical therapists specialize in helping individuals with hypermobility build strength and stability without overloading vulnerable tissues.

Treatment may include:

  • Targeted exercises designed to improve the strength and coordination of the muscles that support your joints. For individuals with hypermobility and EDS, these exercises help reduce excessive joint movement, improve stability, and decrease the risk of injury and dislocations.

  • Focuses on activating and strengthening the deep muscles of the abdomen, back, diaphragm, and pelvic floor that provide essential support for the spine and pelvis. A stronger core can improve posture, balance, and overall movement efficiency while reducing strain on the body.

  • Proprioception is your body's ability to sense where it is in space. Many people with EDS experience decreased joint awareness, which can contribute to instability and injury. These exercises improve coordination, body awareness, balance, and confidence during daily activities.

  • Addresses the way you move during everyday tasks such as walking, lifting, reaching, bending, and exercising. By improving movement patterns, we help reduce unnecessary stress on joints and tissues while enhancing overall function and efficiency.

  • Rather than avoiding activity altogether, we help you identify ways to safely participate in work, exercise, sports, and daily life. This may include adjustments to technique, pacing, positioning, or exercise selection to minimize symptom flare-ups and maximize success.

  • A carefully structured strengthening program that gradually increases resistance and challenge over time. Building strength is critical for improving joint support, enhancing resilience, reducing injury risk, and helping individuals with EDS safely return to desired activities.

  • Customized plans designed to help individuals safely resume sports, fitness routines, recreational activities, or demanding daily tasks. Programs focus on rebuilding strength, stability, endurance, and confidence while reducing the likelihood of setbacks or reinjury.
