Health Elevated Pelvic Health Therapy

02/24/2026

If you live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and struggle with pelvic pain, bladder issues, or core instability — this is for you.

As a pelvic health therapist in St. Joseph, I work with women every week who are hypermobile or living with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and have been told to just do "Kegels" or more "core strengthening exercises”.

But in many cases, the pelvic floor or core isn’t weak — it’s overworking.

I recently added my name to the Ehlers-Danlos Society Healthcare Professionals Directory, and I’m honored to share this review from a patient:

“It is such a relief to work with someone who is truly knowledgeable about Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and understands the nuances of living with EDS…”

If you’ve been a “bendy kid” who is now a stiff, bracing adult — you are not alone.

I wrote a new blog explaining the connection between EDS and pelvic floor dysfunction and how specialized therapy can help.

You're not imagining things and you're not alone.

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause change how pelvic floor and connective tissue behave.

As estrogen declines, tissues become less elastic and feel less supported. This can show up as heaviness, bladder leaks, or pressure during exercise or daily movement.

What helps:
-Strength training builds connective tissue resilience
-Coordinated breathing and movement improve pelvic floor function

We'd be happy to show you how, so you can integrate these exercises between the daily woes of perimenopause and menopause.

Amazing periods. Did I just say that?

Yes, I did. Keeping a monthly period report card is the first step to avoid a terrible period every month. Then, it's time to explore pelvic floor therapy.

Hard to believe, but yes, it's true. 👂 Pay attention to your body, not everything should be written off as "normal."

Not long ago, few knew pelvic floor therapy was a real treatment. Now more people are searching it, talking about it, and finally connecting the dots.
