Specialized Virtual Care for EDS, HSD, & Chronic Instability

If you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), or chronic instability, you know that traditional rehabilitation often fails to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction. Many approaches focus solely on strengthening muscles without considering neuromuscular control, proprioception, and postural alignment, which are critical for long-term stability.


I have been certified through the international Ehlers-Danlos Society and the EDS ECHO program, where I have studied with leading experts and clinicians from around the world to develop innovative strategies for hypermobility rehabilitation. My approach is designed to help individuals regain stability, reduce pain, and build a foundation of strength and resilience in a way that is safe for hypermobile bodies.


How My Approach is Different


🪷Certified & Evidence-Based – I have trained with the International EDS Society and the ECHO Group, working alongside global experts in hypermobility rehabilitation.

🪷 Stability Before Strength – Unlike traditional PT, I focus on neuromuscular retraining and postural control before loading unstable joints with strength exercises.

🪷 Pain Reduction through Alignment & Movement Education – Learn how to move efficiently and reduce micro-injuries caused by poor proprioception.

🪷Tailored to You – Every session is customized to your specific challenges, from joint subluxations and autonomic dysfunction (POTS, dysautonomia) to chronic pain and fatigue.


Who Is This For?


  •  Those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) struggling with joint instability, chronic pain, and frequent subluxations.
  •  Patients with autonomic dysfunction (POTS, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue) looking for a gentle, integrative approach to movement.
  •  Individuals who have tried traditional PT but need a more specialized approach that acknowledges hypermobility challenges.
  • Clinics that are looking to have a value added service that is greatly needed and easily implemented.


About Anna McConville

Healing with Heart Philosophy

Welcome to a New Way of Healing.

I’m Dr. Anna McConville, and I know what it’s like to live in a body that feels like it’s working against you.

With over 30 years of experience in integrative physical therapy and pain neuroscience, and as someone living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and complex spinal conditions myself, I understand the delicate balance between fragility and resilience. My mission is to help people—like you, like me—find a path to stability, relief, and hope.

Through trauma-informed, body-loving practices, I guide individuals and professionals toward sustainable healing. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, hypermobility, nervous system sensitivity, or complex recovery, I believe your body deserves care that honors its intelligence.


What makes my work different 

I start by listening.

Your story matters.
Your sensations matter.
Your healing pace matters.

I integrate:

  • Neuroplasticity principles to rewire pain patterns
  • Trauma-informed movement to support safety and trust
  • Medical cannabis education for pain, anxiety, and system regulation
  • Fascia and nervous system-based strategies for functional healing
  • And always, respect for your body’s unique needs and rhythms.

You’ll find my work is never about “pushing through.”
It’s about cultivating presence, patience, and progress—on your terms.

Professional Credentials

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
  • Advanced Doctorate in Pain Neuroscience
  • Certified Cannabis Consultant
  • Certified Stress Management Educator
  • Extensive training in:
    • Craniosacral Therapy
    • Visceral Therapy
    • HeartMath® Biofeedback
    • Somatic Experiencing® principles
    • Energy Medicine & Healing Touch

I also teach patients and educators about EDS, chronic pain, and nervous system regulation, helping both patients and providers understand the art and science of sustainable healing.


Why I Do This Work

Because I’ve been the patient in the waiting room. Because I’ve felt the fear of a body in crisis. Because I’ve experienced the frustration of not being believed.

And because I’ve discovered: there is always a way forward.

My work is rooted in the belief that healing is possible, even when the path feels hidden. My greatest joy is helping others uncover their own resilience and build a relationship of trust with their body and their life.

Outside the Clinic

When I’m not teaching or consulting, you’ll find me:

  • Exploring the subtle realms of energy medicine
  • Gardening, painting, or writing (creative healing is part of my medicine!)
  • Spending time in nature, letting my body and breath find rhythm
  • Cheering for my clients as they reclaim their lives 🌿

Let’s Connect

Whether you’re a clinic looking for EDS-informed education, a person navigating complex pain, or a curious explorer ready to understand your body on a deeper level—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
