Hypermobility/hEDS

Hypermobility is when joints move beyond the normal range. Our focus is on how the body organizes and stabilizes movement—not just flexibility to reduce pain and instability.

Body Awareness

Body awareness includes knowing your body’s position (proprioception) and internal signals (interoception). At Fortuna, our focus is on how awareness affects pain, function, and quality of life.

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain results from changes in the nervous system, not just tissue injury. Our treatment addresses how the body and nervous system interpret and respond to sensation and movement.

Pelvic Health (Pain, Prolapse & Pressure Management)

Fortuna’s treatment restores pelvic floor function through whole-body movement to relieve pain or prolapse, which is often influenced by how your body moves, manages pressure, and distributes load.

Chronic Pain & Body Awareness

Chronic pain is not simply a reflection of tissue damage. Over time, it often becomes a problem of how the body and nervous system process, organize, and respond to movement and sensation.

Complex Orthopedics

Complex orthopedic conditions often cause ongoing pain or symptoms that don’t improve with standard treatment. Fortuna’s care focuses on whole-body movement and adaptation, not just symptoms.
