My balance and stability have been awful and the last 5 years have gotten even worse due to injuries (related to EDS instability in my joints) and deconditioning. What I’ve gained in ankle strength, stability and balance alone makes it worth every penny. There are more gains on top of that. Highly recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough of this course. After an EDS flare up, I was completely bedridden and even small movements were extremely unstable and painful. I was worried that a generalized program would be insensitive to my level of instability, or that it would be too easy and wouldn’t help me progress. But at each phase of the program, I was met with a slight, attainable challenge and could see improvements week by week, until I am up walking and functioning quite well by the end of it. This is a treasure to me!

Did a great job of regulating my nervous post brain surgery. It showed the body what to fire and what not to fire. Approach intentionally, it really makes a difference and the whole point of this program. Highly recommend for hyper-mobility and nervous system regulation.

I just wanted to say that the rehabilitation program I completed for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was really excellent. I truly appreciated the quality of the care and support throughout. Having daily follow-up made a big difference for me—it really helped me better manage my condition. I’ve also noticed clear improvements in my stability and proprioception thanks to the program. Thank you again for such a helpful and well-structured experience.

I'm nearly finished with the 8 levels of Fundamental Strength Training for Phase 1, and I'm so glad this program exists. As someone with hEDS, I've struggled to find fitness content that actually meets me where I am and this program does exactly that. The focus on stability, low reps, and building a strong foundation was exactly what my body needed. I came away with so much more awareness of where my body is in space, better balance, and a genuine sense of what "stable" actually feels like. And when it came to equipment or space, I was able to get creative with my PT when my studio couldn't accommodate certain things which speaks to how adaptable the program is. The videos are clear, easy to follow along, and never overwhelming. The self paced program is ideal as I was able to step away during flares and come back without pressure or guilt. This made it possible for me to actually *finish*, something I haven't always been able to say about other programs. Thank you Parr PT for creating something that truly understands the hypermobile body. <3

This program has been life changing for my chronic pain and symptoms from EDS & POTS. Traditional PT always worsened my symptoms, but with this program, I've felt like I can proceed safely and build a solid base in my rehab journey. It's amazing to me to already feel the renewed stability and strength that I could not feel before. Highly recommend!!

PARR has helped me so much. I had quite a few different problems when I arrived, and they’ve all gotten addressed by my physical therapist. The workout plan is usually the main focus of other programs, and while it is an important part of this one, it goes along with personalized care that evolves as the program goes on. I’ve noticed significant improvement with pain management, muscle tension, joint stability, and even stomach issues that I’ve had for forever. The staff is so warm and personable it feels more like visiting a friend than a doctors office. I’ve learned so much since being here, I truly recommend PARR!!

I really enjoyed Fundamental Strength Training for Hypermobility & EDS | Phase 1! The course is incredibly well-structured, making it easy to follow even for someone new to strength training. The exercises are thoughtfully designed AND focus on building strength safely without risking injury. I appreciated the clear explanations, modifications, and progression.

Good explanations that takes the stress and shame off. Most of the time I have been told to simply do more (reps and/or weight) and that doing too little is why I am not getting better. However, that always led to more injuries. This is a completely different approach that makes sense and gives hope.

I’ve seen a positive impact on my body and nervous system after fully completing the phase 1 program. The video instructions are thorough and the website is easy to use. I like being able to access old portions of programs to revisit specific exercises that I found to be most helpful for my specific situation. I now have a much better awareness of why I’ve had pain in specific joints and the movements needed to help alleviate that pain.

This program was so helpful in getting my mind to understand what my body needs in terms of movement. As someone who has multiple health problems I never knew how to move my body in a healthy way. I would do what my peers did and that would overwork and stress my body out. This program taught me how to have a mind body connection so that movement and working out does not hurt me but helps me.

This is a great exercise routine for EDS. I liked having a morning routine and upper/lower body routines. I was surprised how challenging the vestibular/balance exercises were and appreciated the focus on that. Highly recommend!
