EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME (EDS)
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue.
EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME (EDS)
The most widespread subtype of EDS causes hypermobility in the connective tissue that makes up ligaments, tendons, and skin. Currently, there is no cure for EDS; however, physical therapy is known as the key to managing EDS as well as other hypermobility disorders. This rare syndrome is highly complex and often overlooked as there is no definitive diagnosis for hypermobility-type EDS. The main symptom of EDS is widespread musculoskeletal pain; however, EDS may also contribute to systemic symptoms.
