Being hypermobile doesn’t mean you have EDS. It just means you’re hypermobile. ❤️‍🩹

You HAVE to have generalized joint hypermobility to have Hypermobile type Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It would be a grave disservice to not talk about hypermobility when talking about HYPERMOBILE TYPE Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

hEDS is so much more than just being bendy. Just because you see someone on their feet and walking that doesn’t mean they’re not fighting invisible battles that you are not seeing. I struggle a lot on my feet. I have not left my house without a mobility aid in 5 years, because I do not feel sta

Replying to @samdapotsie I’m sorry it wasn’t clear on the video 🙈 I tried to make it clear, but I see how it could be taken. So, I mean that being hypermobile doesn’t automatically mean you have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. You have to meet the entire 2017 diagnostic criteria for hEDS, not j

The truth is that you don’t have to dislocate your joints to have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I think it’s unfortunate that most people attribute dislocations and stretchy skin with hEDS, and, according the the 2017 diagnostic criteria for hEDS, you don’t have to have dislocations or stretc

Hypermobile Strength Tip
If you’re extra bendy you’ll want to make sure you create resistance around your joints at their end range. This is called Mobility. It’s strength at end-range rather than just length at end range. I find ways to train my joints at their most flexible to lock them in because I have Elhers Danlo

Now let me be clear, this shouldn’t be on the patient to have to search for a team that’s EDS aware. This is to counter the rhetoric that some providers have that feel like an EDS diagnosis isn’t important or wouldn’t change the course of treatment. This is just factually incorrect, and for people
