61 - Dr. Melissa Koehl (PT) on Treating the Full Spectrum of Hypermobility

On this episode, Kerry interviews Dr. Melissa Koehl, a physical therapist diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Dr. Melissa was a competitive level 10 gymnast in her earlier years and ended up incurring a number of injuries including a career-ending stress fracture to her lower back. Dr. Melissa created her own ChimeraFit method that combines elements of Pilates, Yoga, strength, and balance work. She has been teaching her method to others with hypermobility, arthritis, and joint pain for over 20 years. She also has a great instagram page with lots of content about different movement approaches for people at many places on the hypermobility spectrum.
