Long Trail Physical Therapy
About
Long Trail Physical Therapy is a physical therapy provider in Burlington, Vermont with experience treating Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
EDS Healthcare in Vermont
Vermont has no EDS Society Center of Excellence or dedicated EDS program. The University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington has a genetics department. Boston Children's Hospital's Connective Tissue Disorders Program is the nearest major resource, about 3 hours from Burlington.
Vermont's rural character means most patients face a drive of several hours to reach either Burlington or Boston-area specialists. Southern Vermont patients may find Boston more accessible than Burlington. Telehealth can significantly reduce the need for travel for follow-up care.
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.
