about us

We are Physiotherapists and Dietitians who focus on joint Hypermobility & EDS, safe exercise programs, manual therapy & nutritional advice since 2019.
 
We offer
Physio and Dietitian integrated assessments to explore how movement, nutrition & the nervous system contribute to fatigue, chronic pain, dizziness, poor healing, recurrent injuries, IBS, reflux & poor sleep.

If you're wondering if you're hypermobile, we are trained to identify & treat joint hypermobility (symptomatic or not).

We prescribe custom programs for joint hypermobility, instability, weakness, chronic pain, GI symptoms & food intolerances.
 
We help manage coexisting conditions such as dysautonomia, fatigue, MCAS & long COVID.

We see patients in person and virtually.


You do not need an HSD/EDS confirmed diagnosis to see us. Most of our patients have suspected diagnoses.
About
Correcting dysfunctional movement patterns and addressing the root causes responsible for the symptoms using evidence-informed methods. 

Enhancing Sensory Input to improve activation of weak areas, strength and coordination (e.g., via electroacupuncture).
 
Treating beyond symptomatic areas for optimal recovery, also known as regional interdependence.

Supporting gut barrier to reduce food intolerances and immune reactivity.

Identifying and reducing histamine-rich foods to reduce MCAS flares & fatigue.

Building low FODMAP, low residue, SIBO protocols, GERD-safe diets to reduce reflux, constipation, bloating, IBS, dysmotility & fatigue.
