                    Lillian Holm, PT, DPT is a seasoned physical therapist with over 30 years of experience in the field, specializing in treating individuals with hypermobility disorders, including Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

Lillian's practice is deeply rooted in a holistic approach to wellness, emphasizing not only the physical but also the psychological aspects of healing.
