HYPERMOBILITY

Holistic Medical Center is a Regional Hypermobility Center

WHAT IS HYPERMOBILITY?
When joints are overly flexible and move in excess of a normal range of motion they are considered hypermobile. When this occurs, symptoms can arise, such as muscle or joint pain. One of the more common connective tissue disorders seen at our clinic is a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Someone with hypermobility may have difficulty holding objects with their hands, have frequent ankle sprains, be 'accident prone', or have difficulty discerning where their body is in space. Hypermobility can impact the digestive system, bladder control, levels of anxiety, and blood pressure, among many others.

Our clinicians are experts in fascia, the connective tissue responsible for stretch and flexibility. We approach each individual with tailored, in-depth evaluations, including myofascial length testing. We're seeing more of a co-occurrence of hypermobility, non-binary, autism spectrum and sensory sensitivities. The team at Holistic Medical Center is well equipped to support one or all of these in combination.

We offer treatments that support anatomical alignment & nervous system regulation
to help our patients resume functional activities that bring quality of life.

SENSORY PROCESSING

Do you have Sensory Processing Disorders?

OUR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS HELP TO IDENTIFY
if there are sensory processing disturbances and determine a customized treatment plan to help balance & integrate the sensory systems. Sensory Processing is how we interpret the world around us, through our 8 sensory systems.
These systems are:
1. Auditory 2. Visual 3. Olfactory ~ Smell 4. Gustatory ~ Oral, taste, textures 5. Tactile ~ Touch 6. Proprioception ~ Awareness of our body in space 7. Vestibular ~ Inner Ear & brain which process balance and eye movements 8. Interception, sensing thorough our internal organs (bladder, stomach, etc.)

There are two main types of sensory processing disorders that children and adults experience.
Sensory issues are usually defined as either:

HYPERSENSITIVITY
(over-responsiveness) to sensory stimuli

HYPOSENSITIVITY
(under-responsiveness) to sensory stimuli.
