HYPERMOBILITY & EDS
HOLISTIC ORTHOPEDICS, ADOLESCENT & ADULT WELLNESS CENTER
Holistic Orthopedics is a Regional Hypermobility Center.
When joints are overly flexible and move in excess of a normal range of motion they are considered hypermobile. When this occurs, symptoms can arise, such as muscle or joint pain. One of the more common connective tissue disorders seen at our clinic is a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, (EDS). Someone with hypermobility may have difficulty holding objects with their hands, have frequent ankle sprains, may be 'accident prone', and may have difficulty discerning where their body is in space. Hypermobility can impact the digestive system, bladder control, levels of anxiety, blood pressure, etc. Our clinicians are experts in Fascia, the connective tissue responsible for stretch and flexibility. We approach each individual with tailored, in-depth evaluation, including myofascial length testing. We offer treatments that support anatomical alignment and regulation
of the nervous system to help our patients resume functional activities that bring quality of life.
