Traditional physical therapy often doesn't work as well for common hypermobility challenges and comorbidities, such as POTS / dysautonomia, chronic fatigue, pain, and joint instability. However, physical therapy is important for symptom management and improving quality of life.
In this episode, Nikki is joined by physical therapist Dr. Morgan who specializes in a whole-body approach for treating hypermobility related challenges and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
Topics covered:
What is POTS and how it relates to symptomatic hypermobility and hEDS.
Different physical therapy interventions for POTS and dysautonomia.
How the thoracic spine and rib cage connect to the autonomic nervous system and may influence POTS symptoms.
Why standard physical therapy protocols sometimes fail POTS patients and alternative approaches if these protocols don't work well for you.
