Service Type
Virtual Physical Therapy

Description
Hinge Health offers personalized, virtual physical therapy programs designed for individuals dealing with hypermobility—a core challenge for those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Their program includes low-impact exercises tailored to build joint stability and strength. All sessions are done from the comfort of your home, guided by a licensed physical therapist and supported by a health coach to ensure you're following a safe, effective plan.

Why We Recommend It
EDS requires specialized care, and Hinge Health understands the complexity of hypermobility. Their tailored physical therapy programs focus on improving joint strength and reducing pain without triggering flares. The virtual format makes it accessible, especially for those who struggle with mobility or live in areas without local specialists. With constant access to professional guidance and personalized exercises, it's a great resource for managing EDS-related symptoms.
