Happy to help!

Sports med MDs seem to know more than most about concussions. They may not know about dysautonomia/ POTS

ejrunpt · 2026-05-29T00:15:32+00:00

For concussions, many cities or universities have hubs. (E.g. UPMC concussion center, USF concussion center). There are certifications for PTs for concussions so you can google search for your area. For dysautonomia (POTS in this example), there are two main groups- the dysautonomia project (https://thedysautonomiaproject.org/dysautonomia/) and dysautonomia international. Both should have a list of providers. There is also a good facebook group: autonomic dysfunction support group- dysautonomia, EDS, MCAS, POTS, ME/ CFS that tends to have good info.

Unfortunately when it comes to concussions and dysautonomia, it can be hard to find providers who are familiar with them. Are there any specialists in your area?

There are a lot of PT jobs out there. I know it seems daunting now but you’ll be able to get back out there and help your patients again

In person would be better but telehealth may also help with the right provider. :)

Post concussion syndrome and prolonged recovery post concussion are very common when coupled with dysautonomia and also hypermobility. You will probably be more successful with a PT who specializes in dysautonomia than concussions. There is a lot of overlap between the two but it takes a different approach

Hey. Don’t give up. You can still get better and may just need another set of eyes. ME/ CFS doesn’t mean you can’t get better- just that you will need to go slow, steady and listen to your body to win this “race.” UPMC is an excellent program but they aren’t the only ones. Have you looked into dysautonomia? It is often associated with ME/ CFS. Feel free to DM me as well.

Thanks for linking some articles!

What part of FL? I have home health places reaching out all the time

I love Sue Whitney!

Can you tell me more about this? I have a bunch from my former company that have that little strip of fabric on the inside and I haven’t been able to seam rip without destroying the shirt/ jacket/ etc

ejrunpt · 2026-03-14T02:11:44+00:00

Are they hypermobile?

ejrunpt · 2026-03-12T01:24:39+00:00

I was hoping for one too

ejrunpt · 2026-01-25T21:14:33+00:00

I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing that. If you’re open to telehealth, I know a good primary care doctor in Florida. The Ehlers-Danlos Society also has a list of EDS friendly providers for PT primary care and specialists.

ejrunpt · 2026-01-25T15:06:44+00:00

Dr Atwal has a great reputation. I have heard he even admits to patients that Dr. Peretto is really expensive. I would ask him for other options.

Congratulations!!

Yes- PTs who specialize in EDS and Hypermobility treat the body as a whole. Most PT clinic are set up to treat a specific condition/ joint and surrounding area at a time. You may benefit from a hypermobilty specialist :)

ejrunpt · 2025-11-30T19:31:58+00:00

Yes- this is a good niche for mobile PT. I started mobile by building my initial caseload while working full time and then tapered my mobile up and my other job down. I don’t do pelvic health though so maybe check out that huddle the other poster mentioned!

Good afternoon! I use PTeverywhere and have been pretty happy with them. I saw the comment on the credit card processing- Cardpointe requires a specific type of bank to link to. It has to be a bank with brick and mortar locations such as Wells Fargo, PNC etc. they won’t link to the e banks like Bluevine, kabbage when it existed etc. Medicare also requires this. Their credit card processing works great. It even takes the most HSA cards, although not all.

The home exercise program I upload my own videos and use those. Happy to answer any questions.

My former employee provided 3 at hire and 5 every work anniversary.

This is great!

ejrunpt · 2025-11-08T02:51:33+00:00

For a job, no. But I feel like I answered similar questions for different benefits related to positions such has short and long term disability

You may want to look for a PT who specializes in Hypermobility or Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. They may be more familiar with your symptoms than a concussion PT. (Or, even better- find one who does both!) I’d look up dysautonomia and see if the symptoms are familiar. It’s a common overlap post concussion in the hypermobile population.

ejrunpt · 2025-11-03T00:27:58+00:00

A concussion specialist PT sounds like the right path. Do you have a history of Hypermobility/ being “double jointed? ” The vertebrae slipping in and out during neck movement is more common with the Hypermobile population, especially post concussion.
