Specialized Care for Chronic & Complex Conditions

What Makes Connective Physical Therapy Different?

We specialize in treating chronic and complex conditions that are often misunderstood, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). These complex conditions can often lead to misdiagnosis and frustration, with patients being dismissed without the care they truly need.

If you're tired of being told your pain is "all in your head," it's time to receive the personalized care you deserve. Schedule your first appointment today and take the first step toward real relief.

I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!! Marissa is a godsend for patients with EDS and hypermobility! She has made a significant impact on the improvement of my quality of life and chronic pain through her personalized and thorough care. Marissa is very knowledgeable about EDS and its corresponding comorbidities; she is able to figure out the root of my pain when I enter a flare and subsequently provide adjustments. Plus she’s truly such a pleasure to interact with! I always look forward to an appointment with her!

I have been in and out of physical therapy for 30 years. Dr. Littman is the most knowledgeable, effective and personable of any DPT that I have used in the past. I honestly feel that if I had had her when I started with excruciating back problems, I would not have ended up having lumbar Surgery.

Highly Recommend. I highly recommend Marissa, especially if you have EDS or any other hyper mobility issues. As someone who has been treated by a lot of doctors who don’t really understand hyper mobility spectrum disorders on a personal, practical level, it’s a huge priority to me to be treated by someone who really knows what they’re doing in regards to hyper mobile joints. She understands why the “typical” approach might not always work well for me, and adjusts accordingly, and I appreciate that Marissa takes continuing education courses to stay on top of new research and techniques.
