The Hypermobility Healing Journey

I’ve been referring my patients to Dr. Carr for over 15 years, including many of my hypermobile patients. Dr. Carr has mastered a unique thoughtful approach that blends
various physical therapy strategies and manual styles to promote increased joint stability, relaxation of compensatory tense muscles, and restoration of healthy functional
fascia. She is highly skilled at guiding patients through safe, personalized, progressive
exercise regimens to build up muscles despite ligament laxity, while balancing the
nervous system simultaneously. She is truly a gift to these patients.

I’ve been working with Dr. Carr for more than 5 years now, and she has been a complete life saver. She has seen me through some of the toughest times, physically and emotionally, with so many subluxations and overuse injuries. With her gentle, holistic approach (and lots of dedication!) she's helped me go from bed bound to living my life again, including preparing for my first international trip in a decade. She is extremely knowledgeable about symptomatic hypermobility, MCAS, and dysautonomia. But even more than that, she is compassionate and meets you where you are. I can’t imagine managing this challenging condition without her expert guidance.

After 20 years of persistent hip and back pain, I finally feel like I’m on the right path. Following my recent diagnoses of hEDS, MCAS, and POTS, it’s been difficult to find a PT who truly understands how these conditions affect the body.

Dr. Carr quickly identified issues, including pelvic rotation and significant fascial tightness on my painful side. Her approach is both thoughtful and appropriately gentle for my hypermobile body. The pelvic mobility exercises she’s given me feel safe and manageable.

I’m grateful for her knowledge of my condition and her ability to tailor treatment to my needs.

As a regenerative medicine physician who regularly works with patients navigating hypermobility spectrum disorders and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, I deeply appreciate Erin Carr’s whole-person approach to care. Having known and collaborated with Erin for 10 years, I have consistently valued both her clinical insight and her thoughtful, patient-centered philosophy. These patients often require far more than isolated treatment of painful joints or tissues, and Erin understands the critical interplay between the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, emotional health, and movement patterns. I have especially appreciated Erin’s collaborative approach in working alongside me, openly communicating and integrating care strategies in a way that truly benefits these complex patients, because healthcare is a team sport, particularly in HSD and EDS. Erin brings compassion, insight, and thoughtful integrative care to a patient population that is too often misunderstood.
