Specialized Support for Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos — Feel Stable in Your Own Body

Living with hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can make everyday movement feel unpredictable. At QuistMD, we offer expert care for patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders — combining joint stabilization, neuromuscular retraining, and hands-on therapies to improve function and reduce injury risk.

Unlike many clinics, we don’t dismiss complex cases. Our team is trained to listen carefully, build gradual and sustainable strength, and address the unique physical and emotional demands of living in an unstable body.
