Physical Therapy for HSD, hEDS, and
Associated Disorders

 If you're living with a connective tissue disorder, you've likely experienced the frustration of a care provider who was unfamiliar with your condition; who didn't take your symptoms seriously or offered unhelpful advice. Dr. Christine has experienced 43 years of living with hypermobility,  has loved ones with connective tissue disorders, and has had the opportunity to work with countless women with these conditions as a pelvic floor physical therapist. 

​

Christine understands that supporting those with connective tissue disorders means addressing the WHOLE person and having a comprehensive understanding of how associated symptoms influence a plan of care.
