Advanced Physical Therapy Center
About
Outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic. Ask for Cody as your therapist. I have hypermobility myself and have several years of experience working with patients with EDS, POTS, and other various hypermobility disorders. I understand the different process physical therapy needs to take in order to help patients with these conditions compared to the general population and work hard to focus on education, healthy mobility, and proprioception training.
EDS Healthcare in Michigan
Michigan has no EDS Society Center of Excellence. The nearest is IU Health's EDS & HSD Clinic in Indianapolis. The Michigan Association of Genetic Counselors is active and can help connect patients with genetic evaluation resources. University of Michigan Health in Ann Arbor and other academic centers have genetics departments, though none have a dedicated EDS program.
Michigan patients must travel out of state for dedicated EDS care, with IU Health in Indianapolis being the nearest Center of Excellence. The Upper Peninsula is especially isolated from specialist resources. The Michigan Association of Genetic Counselors can help locate in-state genetic evaluation services.
Finding Physical Therapy for EDS
When choosing a PT for EDS, ask whether they have experience with hypermobility and use stabilization-first protocols rather than standard stretching routines.
