Welcome to Connective Care Physical Therapy

I'm Diana Schwartz, PT DPT, and I created Connective Care Physical Therapy to support people with complex, often misunderstood conditions — including chronic pain, hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), TMJ dysfunction, and autoimmune-related musculoskeletal issues.

My approach is gentle, individualized, and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves care that honors their lived experience.

I take time to listen.
To ask questions.
To learn how your body responds to movement, stress, and tension — whether that shows up in your jaw, your joints, or your nervous system.
Together, we build strategies that don’t just improve function — they foster comfort, ease, and trust in your body again.

This is care that meets you where you are.
This is Connective care.
