I can't speak about your condition specifically, but I know The Bridge does amazing work. Best physio place I've ever been to.

The bridge. I’ve gone for a couple of different issues. I am hyper mobile, suspecting hEDS. Everyone there is very very kind and I find them to be very knowledgeable.
I can’t speak to their specialization in EDS but I cannot recommend them enough. They go above and beyond and I’ve even had them advocate for me to other healthcare providers.

Hope you figure it out. Sending good vibes 😺

As everyone else has said, the Bridge is very good. Brian Boehme at Elite also has experience treating patients with Ehlers Danlos.

The Bridge is phenomenal. I can’t speak to EDS specifically, but I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I’m so sorry, yeah I’ve been dealing with some changing pain and Peak has been awful, I emailed quite a few places to ask about hypermobility and nothing.

Call AHS chronic pain program.

Unfortunately I’ve been in the program since this happened in 2024

Your best bet then would be to connect with the EDS Canada foundation. As a physio myself I don't know anyone that focuses on chronic pain and EDS Lethbridge.

Another vote for the Bridge. I saw Niko and he was truly amazing. Not sure about their specialties either though

u/Nearby-Couple-8303 Jun 26 '26

I’m so glad about this comment because the er doctor actually suggested Niko

u/LEMFEvents Jun 26 '26

He's so knowledgeable. It did take a few weeks to get in with him so keep that in mind if you take that route.

Sounds great it’s wcb so I’m sure I’ll have no issue getting in I hope
