Скачать или смотреть Unlock Strength and Stability: Physical Therapy for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility

May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Awareness Month—a time to bring visibility to this complex, often misunderstood condition.

What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
EDS is a group of genetic disorders that affect the body's connective tissues, leading to:
▪️ Hypermobile joints (joints that stretch farther than normal)
▪️ Chronic pain and frequent dislocations
▪️ Fragile, easily bruised skin
▪️ Digestive challenges, fatigue, and cardiovascular issues

Because collagen—the body’s structural support system—is compromised, everyday activities can be unpredictable and painful.

✨ How Can Physical Therapy Help?
At Vida Integrated Health, physical therapy is a key part of helping those with EDS move safely, feel stronger, and protect their bodies:
🔸 Joint Stability — Strengthening the muscles around hypermobile joints provides extra support and reduces the risk of dislocations.
🔸 Safe Movement Strategies — Physical therapists teach customized movement techniques to prevent injury and manage daily activities with confidence.
🔸 Posture and Core Strength — Improving posture and building core stability can ease strain on joints and decrease chronic pain.
🔸 Pain Management — Targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education help reduce flare-ups and promote long-term relief.

Physical therapy focuses on creating resilience—empowering those with EDS to move, live, and thrive more comfortably.
