Strive Physical Therapy
About
We are an outpatient orthopedic practice in Blue Bell Pennsylvania. I have a passion for treating hypermobile patients and have found a passion for treating patients with various forms of EDS. Regardless of the type of EDS or how that patient presents, I aim to tailor that plan to help optimize that persons function and quality of life. I also completed my orthopedic residency through evidence in motion and achieved my OCS certification one year ago. This further helped specialize my orthopedic care. My main goal on here is to get my name out to help more people and provide a difference with people who have EDS
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 Other for EDS
Mention your EDS diagnosis at the start of any appointment so the provider can factor connective tissue fragility into their evaluation and treatment approach.
