Set Physical Therapy - Metro Center
About
Set Physical therapy is a one-on-one practice with two locations within Washington, DC. Our physical therapists spend one hour in a private room with patients and do not use any accessory staff for treatment. We have multiple providers who are very experienced in treating EDS beyond myself. We use a combination of techniques including manual therapy, strength and stability exercises, postural re-education, trigger point dry needling, cupping, taping, Class IV laser, MSK ultrasound, extensive patient education, and more. We pride ourselves on helping our patients to better understand their conditions – particularly more complex conditions such as EDS, HSD, and POTS – so that they can be as involved in their treatment plan as possible.
EDS Healthcare in New York
The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center operates in Old Westbury and Central Islip, offering specialized rehabilitation and treatment. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside focuses on EDS with Chiari malformation. Weill Cornell provides pain management expertise. New York Medicaid covers genetic testing with prior authorization. Wait times at major programs can be 6 months or longer.
Both EDS Centers of Excellence are on Long Island, leaving upstate New York significantly underserved. Patients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Adirondacks face drives of 4-6+ hours to reach these programs. Wait times of 6 months or more are common. Rural upstate access is very limited, and telehealth is important 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.
