Healthy Consumer Physical Therapy in Lansing, MI

I found Chris and Healthy Consumer Physical Therapy after doing a google search for physical therapists that are knowledgeable/experienced with treating patients that have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hypermobility type). I have chronic pain in many joints but most severely in my hip. My previous experience with physical therapy left me skeptical that I would ever find benefit in PT. However I was wrong. Chris has been amazing with introducing exercises that I can do without exacerbating the pain, but pushing me enough to achieve the goal of strengthening the muscle around my joints for better stability and less pain. I am encouraged that the tools and knowledge Chris has introduced will allow me to regain some of the physical activity that I have lost due to pain. I absolutely recommend Chris to anyone, but especially those who have hypermobility.

I highly recommend Healthy Consumer Physical Therapy! I see Chris for my hyper-mobile symptoms. I drive over an hour because Chris is so knowledgeable and informative about Ehlers-danlos and hyper-mobile syndromes. He has given me a wealth of information and resources which have been extremely helpful. I like that he records the exercises so I can remember how to do them correctly at home and shares information via email in between. He also responds to any questions regarding the exercises between sessions as well. He has been very helpful!

I've had intermittent lower back pain for a long time. After an initial consult to determine the cause of my pain and what he thought it would take to make it better, he gave me exercises/physical therapy that finally stopped my constant, nagging pain. Once I had more mobility, he gave me additional exercises to make me less likely to have this issue recur. I was impressed by the attention he gave to ensuring I could perform all exercises well before I left, that he communicated clearly what my movement "assignments" were, and that at the beginning of every visit he made sure I was progressing like he thought I should be before talking about next steps. Working with Chris has been a great experience, and I'd recommend him to anyone!
