Dr. Miner has 14 years of successful practice throughout Loudoun and Fauquier County work in orthopedic and private practices. After 4 years of working at a clinic that allowed significantly more time for patient treatment and with the encouragement of a dear friend and peer, Jennifer opened Back to You Physical Therapy in 2022. This practice allows her to continue to provide her patients with the quality care and services they deserve. Every patient receives a one-on-one appointment with an individualized treatment plan. Dr. Miner looks at the body as a whole in order to get to the root cause of the dysfunction. One cannot properly treat the shoulder without treating the spine, or the knee without treating the hip and foot. Dr. Miner has extensive training and experience in treating the spine, from cervical to sacral disorders. She enjoys making treatment programs a unique and enjoyable experience for each of her patients. Jennifer believes in hands on treatment, and educating her patients on independent management/treatment of their current dysfunctions, as well as, prevention of future injuries.

This includes dry needling with cadaver dissection to fine tune her skills and take a closer look at the relationship between muscles and fascia. Jennifer loves the outstanding benefits dry needling provides her patients. She is currently taking continuing education classes for pelvic health for both men and women. Dr. Miner has been involved with cheerleading at all levels, both as a participant and as a coach, for more than 20 years. Her involvement has contributed to understanding the psyche of athletes, their injuries and their desires to heal and get back to their program as quickly as possible. She is currently providing training and support to her son’s travel baseball team to improve their performance and prevent injuries. Over the past 15 years Jenn has found a passion for treating patients suffering from chronic pain syndromes to include EDS, dystonia, scoliosis and fibromyalgia.

EDS Healthcare in California

Casa Colina Hospital in Pomona and Re+active Therapy in El Segundo are both EDS Society Centers of Excellence. Stanford has a Cardiovascular Connective Tissue Disorders Program, UC Davis runs a Connective Tissue Clinic, and UCSF offers Medical Genetics services. Children's Hospital Los Angeles has a Pediatric Bone Disorders Program, and Dao Integrated Health in San Francisco provides EDS-focused treatment.

Despite California's strong urban specialist density, patients in the Central Valley, northern rural areas, and inland regions face long travel times to reach EDS-knowledgeable providers. Wait times at major programs can be 3-6 months or longer. Medi-Cal covers genetic testing with medical necessity, but navigating the referral process can be time-consuming.

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.
