Good Evening!
Hi everyone! Lovely to meet you all! I noticed there are a few of us that are unfamiliar with what EDS /Hypermobility means for us. The link below is a great resource for families to learn and understand more about what we go through each day. Also, the HMSA is an amazing resource for all your questions and they have a…
Introduction
Hi new to knowing about EDS and working hard on reducing the load on my joints
Exercises
Hi guys just wondering what exercises you can do safely and if you use anything special to help you. I am trying to find exercises to do at home
who should i go see?
So I have been doing a little reasearch on this, and I'm noticing I do have some of the "symptoms" with the way my legs are and my hands and whatnot...
