Founder & Owner – Muldowney Physical Therapy
Kevin Muldowney, MSPT, is a nationally and internationally recognized physical therapist and one of the world’s leading experts in the rehabilitation of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). He is the founder and owner of Muldowney Physical Therapy in Cranston, Rhode Island, an outpatient orthopedic practice that has become a global destination for patients with complex connective tissue disorders.
With over 24 years of clinical experience, including more than 21 years focused exclusively on treating EDS, Kevin has evaluated and treated thousands of patients from around the world. He currently treats 80–100 EDS patients each week, using a highly systematic, hands-on, and individualized approach designed to restore functional stability, strength, and long-term independence.
Kevin is the author of the internationally respected book,
Living Life to the Fullest with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Guide for Patients and Health Care Professionals, which outlines his evidence-based treatment philosophy and step-by-step rehabilitation protocol. The book is widely used by patients, physical therapists, and physicians as a foundational resource for EDS care.
The 5-Hour EDS Evaluation
Kevin developed the 5-Hour EDS Evaluation, an intensive, head-to-toe assessment that has become the gold standard for complex EDS cases. This comprehensive evaluation examines musculoskeletal, neurological, and systemic contributors to dysfunction, identifies global stability deficits, and results in a fully customized treatment and home exercise program. Each evaluation includes detailed education, manual therapy, taping strategies, and personalized guidance that allows patients—and their local providers—to follow a clear, effective plan long after the visit.

- Baltimore
