Personalized Physical Therapy for POTS & EDS
One-on-one care to steady heart rate, protect joints, and improve quality of life
You want the freedom to stand, walk, and exercise without dizziness, pain, or constant fatigue, but postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) keep resetting the limits. At Alliance Physical Therapy, our friendly, expert therapists work with patients every day to turn those limits into targets you can reach.
You want the freedom to stand, walk, and exercise without dizziness, pain, or constant fatigue, but postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) keep resetting the limits. At Alliance Physical Therapy, our friendly, expert therapists work with patients every day to turn those limits into targets you can reach.
Specialized Care for Complex, Multi-System Conditions
POTS disrupts the autonomic nervous system, causing sudden jumps in heart rate and drops in blood pressure whenever you sit or stand. EDS, a group of connective-tissue disorders, appears as chronic joint hypermobility, soft-tissue pain, and fragile blood vessels. Both conditions sap energy and confidence, making everything from contact sports to routine physical activities feel risky.
But the right program can ease symptoms today and build long-term strength you can count on tomorrow.
A Treatment Plan Built Around You
Different bodies (and different types of EDS) respond to stress in different ways. Some patients need joint-stabilizing strength training; others need careful endurance drills that keep their heart rate within a safe zone. That’s why every treatment plan starts with a personalized evaluation from a physical therapist experienced in EDS and POTS care.
Listen & Learn.
We review your diagnosis, type of EDS (if applicable), meds, and daily routine.
Test & Track.
Gentle balance, mobility, and cardiovascular screens reveal how your body reacts to position changes.
Plan & Adapt.
Together we set clear goals — less dizziness, fewer dislocations, more stamina — and outline how we’ll reach them.
You’ll leave Day 1 knowing exactly what to expect and how we’ll measure success.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Therapies: Beyond Generic “Stretching”
Joint-Protection Drills: Targeted exercise to strengthen the small stabilizers around hypermobile joints.
Neuromuscular Training: Taps the brain–muscle connection to reduce subluxations during everyday motions.
Custom Bracing & Tape: Extra support for connective tissue when you need to lift, push, or reach.
Because each type of EDS behaves differently, we adjust intensity and volume in real time, so every rep builds confidence and leads to real progress.
Physical Therapy for POTS: Stability From the Inside Out
Recumbent & Semi-Recumbent Cardio: Safely conditions the cardiovascular system without provoking symptoms.
Graded Upright Tolerance: Trains the body to handle position changes, easing the light-headed spikes in blood pressure.
Breathing & Core Work: Supports the diaphragm and improves venous return, calming rapid heart-rate surges.
Some patients begin noticing improvements in endurance and symptom control within just a few sessions.
Your Support Network Doesn’t End at the Door
We connect you with vetted support groups, share resources on local specialists, and coordinate with other providers, including your cardiologist, rheumatologist, or occupational therapist, to ensure a cohesive care plan. If you need home-exercise equipment, we’ll recommend cost-effective options that keep progress moving between visits.

Your Healing Isn’t Hypothetical
“I was referred to this physical therapy office due to pain related to a diagnosis of Ehler's-Danlos Syndrome. Despite living in a large city, it is very difficult to find a physical therapist who understands, focuses on, and provides the proper treatment of someone with EDS. I am very thankful and grateful for Emily and Shelley who not only provide compassionate and effective care, but also love what they do. I highly recommend Alliance Physical Therapy in Scottsdale, AZ.”
- Renee B.
“My daughter and I both have EDS type 3 hypermobility and we suffer from various other chronic illnesses, but Shelly and Sarah have helped us improve while helping us gain confidence and strength. I am so grateful to them for the difference they have made in our lives.”
- Luz S.
