Two locations: Healthwell PT — San Francisco  •  Amber Rehabilitation — Alameda

EDS & Hypermobility Patients

From patients living with connective tissue conditions who finally found care that understands them.

“From my first visit with Sonam I felt like someone finally understood all that I went through. She incorporates so many different techniques — manual therapy, cupping, Fascial Counterstrain, Pilates reformer, shockwave therapy. This office is a treasure.”
Helen S.
EDS
“I had trouble walking prior to working with them, and now I can hike, bike, surf, and swim. If you have HSD, it's really beneficial to work with a physical therapist who understands it.”
Ginny T.
Hypermobility / HSD
“After just 6 months of working with Healthwell, I was able to increase my walking distance from 0.75 miles to 3+ miles without pain.”
Mallory B.
EDS / Joint Instability
“I always leave feeling encouraged. Sonam truly understands what it's like to live with EDS and CCI.”
Hannah F.
EDS / CCI / Post-Neurosurgery
“They look not only at bones and muscles, but how the nervous system works. It's so refreshing to find a practice that takes this whole-body approach.”
L.S.
EDS / Nervous System
“Life changing. The first appointment I left the room in tears of relief. Someone finally understood.”
Donna M.
EDS
“If you feel like nobody's listening to you about your pain, this is where you should go.”

Orthopedic & General Care

From patients who came for orthopedic care, post-surgical rehab, and chronic pain — and found something special.

“San Francisco's best-kept secret! HW takes a more root-cause approach than most. My therapist was skilled, experienced, efficient, patient, compassionate, and warm.”
