Ep 65: Beyond Flexible Joints: Hypermobility, POTS, the Nervous System & Energetics with Dr. Mary Voves
Episode 65
Monday, 19 October, 2026
What if hypermobility is about more than flexible joints?Dr. Mary Grimberg welcomes Dr. Mary Voves, the newest physical therapist at ResilientRx, to explore the connections between hypermobility, POTS, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, the nervous system, and energetics.Drawing from their personal and clinical experiences, they discuss how hypermobility can affect more than joint stability, including body awareness, emotional sensitivity, and the way we respond to stress. They also explore the relationship between trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic symptoms, and why traditional approaches to physical therapy may not always address the whole picture.The conversation goes beyond the physical body to explore boundaries, intuition, and the importance of learning to recognize your body's signals rather than constantly looking outside yourself for answers.They also discuss how strength training, fascial and visceral mobilization, and nervous system regulation can support a greater sense of stability and connection within the body, including why some people experience emotional responses during hands-on treatment.In this episode, you'll learn:How hypermobility, POTS, hormones, and chronic pain can overlapThe connection between physical stability, anxiety, and nervous system regulationHow trauma and neurodivergence may influence body awarenessThe energetic perspective on hypermobility, boundaries, and sensitivityWhy fascial and visceral treatments may be accompanied by emotional responsesHow to reconnect with your intuition and learn to trust your body's signalsWhy healing is about more than managing symptomsUltimately, this conversation is about shifting from chasing symptoms to understanding the body as a whole, and empowering you to become an active participant in your own health.00:00 Meet Dr Mary Voves00:44 Hypermobility Origin Story02:11 Beighton Scale Basics04:26 POTS Postpartum Crash05:47 Finding The Right Care08:33 Energetic Boundaries11:37 Holistic PT Sessions15:06 Stability And Strength in Hypermoblity 20:28 Mind Body Spirit Links23:15 Trauma, Neurodivergence and Histamine connection 25:22 Trusting Body Signals27:03 Avoiding Outsourcing Health28:15 Quieting Noise for Intuition29:40 Food Cravings as Clues33:01 Golden Handcuffs Burnout34:14 Baby Steps to Change36:50 Body Signs Often Missed38:27 Awakening and Diagnosis Labels40:50 Pain Versus Suffering43:03 PT for Nervous System45:39 Visceral Work Explained48:24 Empowered Long Term Healing50:19 Wrap Up and Where to Find UsYou can book with Dr. Mary Voves at http://www.resilient-rx.comWhether you're navigating perimenopause, post-menopause, hypermobility, or chronic pain, there's more to understanding your symptoms than looking at one body system in isolation.I'll be sharing practical tools, research, and insights from a whole-person, movement and rehabilitation perspective, exploring how fascia, hormones, the nervous system, lymphatics, viscera, and the musculoskeletal system work together to influence how we feel and function.My goal is to help you better understand the connections within your body, look beyond where symptoms show up, and explore ways to support your health as a whole.If you're interested in upcoming workshops, research, resources, and practical strategies for yourself or your clients, I'd love for you to join my email list.If you would like to book a session at my PT clinic in Austin, you can find more information here.PS:If you are interested in being a guest on the show, please fill out the form here.
