For individuals with or suspected hypermobility and/or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Support for Joint Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes
Living with hypermobility can present daily challenges thay may include joint pain, fatigue, frequent injuries, and a sense on instability. At Nova, Kara offers physiotherapy tailored to the unique needs of individuals with hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).
What is Hypermobility?
Joint hypermobility means your joints move beyond the normal range of motion. While some people are naturally flexible without issue, others may experience instability, pain, or recurring injuries. When hypermobility causes physical problems, it’s often diagnosed as Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder or Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).
Why Choose Nova?
Kara understands that no two hypermobile bodies are the same. She listens carefully, adjusts treatments based on your feedback, and works with you - not just on you. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with hypermobility for years, our goal is to help you move more comfortably, confidently, and sustainably.
