After the pandemic, my fiancée’s health took a significant hit. With reduced activity, she began experiencing increased fatigue, pain, and frequent fainting episodes, eventually requiring a wheelchair for long distances. Determined to support her, I immersed myself in understanding both POTS and EDS. We worked together on managing joint pain associated with EDS through targeted therapeutic exercises and manual techniques. Alongside addressing her joint issues, I explored cardiovascular exercises—particularly in a recumbent position—to help improve her stamina and mobility, with the goal of restoring her ability to enjoy activities she loves, like dancing and acting.

In my practice, I have spent the past two years working with individuals across the hypermobility spectrum, from those with subtle symptoms to those managing more severe disabilities due to EDS. I sought out clinical training in both EDS and POTS, making these areas foundational to my treatment approach. I believe that no case is too complex for care or improvement. My therapeutic toolbox includes techniques like trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and neuromuscular reeducation, all grounded in a biomechanical approach tailored to each individual’s needs. My ultimate goal is to help patients regain function, alleviate discomfort, and improve their quality of life.

Thanks to consistent effort and a customized approach, my fiancée has progressed from daily fainting spells and joint pain to tackling four-mile hikes, incorporating weightlifting, and returning to dance. Witnessing her transformation solidified my commitment to this work. I’m passionate about sharing the insights and skills I’ve gained, aiming to empower others with POTS and EDS to reclaim the activities that bring them joy.
