EDS & Hypermobility Chiropractor in Portland
Gentle nervous system support for hypermobility, chronic pain, stress and burnout.
Hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) require a very different approach to chiropractic care. At TMJ Chiro, we specialize in gentle, stability-focused treatment for hypermobile bodies across Portland and Lake Oswego.
Living with hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can make traditional bodywork uncomfortable—or even counterproductive. If you’ve ever felt worse after receiving bodywork, you’re in the right place.
Hypermobility affects:
Ligaments
Joint stability
Proprioception
Postural control
Muscle tension patterns
This means:
👉 You don’t need more force.
👉 You don’t need big cracking adjustments.
👉 You need precision, support, and stability.
Hypermobile bodies respond best to gentle, slow, supportive work—and that’s exactly what I do.
Why Hypermobile Bodies Respond Differently
Stability > Cracking
These sessions do NOT include TMJ work inside the mouth.
Intake: A typical session begins with a check in to explore the symptoms that are showing up.
Hands-on work: You’ll lie fully clothed on a warm massage table. These sessions consist of VERY GENTLE bodywork designed to ease tension and restore balance to the nervous system.
Supportive Guidance for Daily Life: You’ll leave with simple, supportive tools such as micro-stability exercises, breathwork for vagal regulation, nutrition & herbal recommendations.
👉Clients begin with a three-session series to allow the body to unwind deeply and experience lasting change.
