Hypermobility

Assembling the Body Puzzle

Got Hypermobility?

Chances are, if you’ve landed on this page, you either have hypermobility—or you’re wondering if you do. You may even be a warrior who has been diagnosed with a hypermobility spectrum disorder, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

We understand the frustration, dismissal, and misunderstanding you may have encountered in the medical world—because we’ve lived it too.  The all-too-common question from providers “If you had to pick one area of your body that’s the worst, what would it be?” is a clear sign of how often hypermobility is misunderstood.   

As practitioners who know hypermobility on both a personal and professional level, we’ve felt those same struggles. That’s why we’ve dedicated our careers to helping individuals with hypermobility challenges feel truly seen and heard.

Whether your primary complaint is multi-site body/joint pain, swallowing difficulties, fatigue, gut issues, weight management or all of the above, we understand your struggle.  We recognize the complex physical, mental, emotional, and environmental layers that come with living in a hypermobile body and we are here to help!

Hypermobility is not rare, but it is rarely understood.

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Health Unpuzzled Therapy different than traditional PT/OT for hypermobile individuals?
Traditional PT/OT often hyperfocuses on one joint or tissue in the body, which is typically an incomplete approach, especially when dealing with hypermobility.  Alternatively, Health Unpuzzled therapists understand hypermobility on both a personal and professional level.  They evaluate multiple body systems with regard to stability, position, mobility, balance and strength.  The way you compensate is unique to you and requires specialized skill and consideration, not “cookie cutter” exercises that anyone can google.  Based on your individual situation, needs and goals, your therapy may incorporate specialized techniques such as PRI or QNRT and also goes a step beyond traditional insurance-based PT as it considers your long-term health, wellness and fitness goals.
Outside of PT/OT therapy, what other options are there to support my hypermobility?
Health Unpuzzled offers a variety of lab testing to uncover hidden healing opportunities.  Testing regarding mineral and toxic elements is especially crucial given the electrolyte imbalances that commonly exist with hypermobility disorders.  This test will highlight your body’s exact needs for various mineral levels in order to eliminate the guesswork and move forward with confidence.
I'm struggling to find a strengthening program that I can tolerate. What options do you have to help with this?
If you are looking to maintain your strength and stability long-term, Health Unpuzzled offers personalized strength training programs that are mindful of hypermobility, so you can build strength confidently (without struggling to explain hypermobility to your personal trainer or group exercise instructor).  These programs can be updated on a semi-regular basis based on your individual needs and goals.
How long are therapy sessions?
Therapy sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, although the duration may vary based on your specific needs and preferences.
What is my investment for PT session(s)?
The cost of each therapy session is $200.  There are discounts available if purchasing a package or based on your individualized program recommendations.
Can I use my health insurance for therapy sessions?
At Health Unpuzzled,  we have chosen not to accept health insurance in order to focus on delivering the highest quality care without the constraints, restrictions and complexities often associated with insurance coverage and billing.

We accept cash, checks and credit cards including HSA and FSA cards.  A receipt can be made available for submission to your HSA or FSA plan.
