2019 NCSummit: Physical Therapy in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome - Patricia Meegan, DPT

Help share more videos like this: http://ow.ly/RLvc50uoPdN Dr. Patricia Meegan delivers an outstanding presentation on what to expect from physical therapy. Patients with Chiari malformation, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and other neurological and connective tissue disorders often have to advocate on their own behalf for PT. Discussing your care plan with your physical therapist, neurosurgeon, or other professionals on your care team is critical to ensuring a successful treatment. Is something not working for you? Talk to your therapist! It is not uncommon to need to re-evaluate therapy goals with your PT. Watch Dr. Meegan describe how you can identify these moments, how to choose the best PT for your care. She even describes tips and tricks in getting insurance to continue covering your PT. This presentation was given at the 2019 Neuro Connect Summit in Rockville, Maryland. Thank you to the 2019 Neuro Connect Alliance partners for making this education and advocacy weekend a reality: Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation, Dysautonomia Support Network and the Ehlers-Danlos Society!
