PT2Excel - Tumwater
About
Based in Tumwater, Washington, this physical therapy practice focuses on POTS and dysautonomia, chronic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. PT2Excel has 2 locations- a stand alone location in Yelm, WA and second location within CrossFit Ingenuity in Tumwater, WA, USA. We are a small, out of network physical therapy and massage clinic. I am an EDS informed pelvic floor and orthopedic specialist. I treat all male and female pelvic floor conditions as well as patients struggling with any orthopedic issues. I have had EDS specific training so I understand the complexities of EDS, including joint pains/instability, MCAS, lymphatic and vision challenges, POTS, dysautonomia, etc. I use gentle manual therapy, individualized and targeted exercise and stability work, strain counterstraing, and The Muldowney Protocol, etc to help my patients understand their bodies, improve symptoms and function.
EDS Healthcare in Washington
The Yellow Brick Clinic near Seattle is an EDS Society Center of Excellence providing specialized care for EDS and hypermobility conditions. The University of Washington Medical Center offers Medical Genetics and Genomics services. Together, these programs make the Seattle area a hub for EDS care in the Pacific Northwest, serving patients from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska.
EDS resources are concentrated in the greater Seattle area. Rural eastern Washington — including the Yakima Valley, Tri-Cities, and Spokane area — has very limited specialist access. The Cascade Range effectively divides the state, and patients east of the mountains may face drives of 4+ hours to reach Seattle-area programs.
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.
