How PT Can Help

Physical Therapists are specially trained to learn about your body, understand how it works and explain options for how to help you feel better. At W4T, we have trained specifically on how hypermobility and related symptoms of pain and fatigue affect your everyday life.

• Core stabilization and its connection to how you feel

• How to find relief from headaches/migraines

• Proper posture and how to maintain it for optimal health

• Aerobic conditioning within the limits of EDS, POTS & dysautonomia

• Techniques to assist with energy conservation

• Anxiety management techniques

• Appropriate orthotics, splints or braces (including Silver Ring Splints®)

• Lifestyle modification for conservative management of dysautonomia including: POTS & MCAS

• Support and connection with other patients with hypermobility disorders
