Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos (hEDS) & HSD
Systemic connective tissue laxity leading to joint instability, chronic pain, and tissue fragility throughout the body.
At Alinea Performance, we frequently help patients recover from Ehlers-Danlos and Hypermobility symptoms such as:
Many people are told they will “grow out of” their flexibility or that they just need to “get stronger.” However, without addressing poor proprioception and joint tracking, standard exercise often leads to more pain and micro-tears. Because hypermobility affects everything from your vision and balance to your autonomic nervous system, symptoms rarely resolve without specialized, targeted intervention.
The good news: with a hypermobility-specific evaluation and a customized stability plan, most people can significantly reduce their pain, eliminate frequent subluxations, and return to their favorite activities with a body that finally feels reliable.
Our comprehensive physical therapy solutions are designed to alleviate your pain, rebuild your strength, and enhance your long-term mobility, ensuring a more resilient and healthy lifestyle.

In most cases, no. Most states allows for "Direct Access," meaning you can come directly to a physical therapist for an evaluation and treatment without seeing a doctor first. This gets you on the road to recovery faster. However, if you are using insurance there are some specific plans that do have requirements regarding signatures or referrals. If your insurance has specific requirements, we will let you know before your first visit. (Medicare does NOT require a referral to get started with therapy).
During your first visit, you'll undergo a comprehensive evaluation. We'll discuss your medical history, assess your current condition, and perform a physical examination. This helps us understand your specific needs and goals. Based on this information, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique situation. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions and discuss any concerns you might have about your treatment.

In many cases, yes. Most pain improves with the right combination of movement correction, strength training, and hands-on care. We’ll also tell you honestly if imaging or a surgical consult is appropriate.
Yes. One of our main goals is education. You’ll understand exactly what is causing your pain, why it’s happening, and how to fix it. Knowing the root cause reduces fear and speeds up recovery.
