Ehlers Danlos: what is it?

May: Ehlers Danlos Awareness Month

Ehlers Danlos: what is it?

The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of genetic, hereditary connective tissue disorders.

The Ehlers Danlos syndromes are as 13 sub-types of EDS and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) – which has similar symptoms to hypermobile subtype EDS (hEDS).

Common symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndromes include unusually flexible joints and skin that stretches and breaks and bruises easily.

Connective tissue is present in every part of our entire body, therefore, there are many other symptoms/issues associated with EDS/HSD.

Can it be cured?
There is no cure for the Ehlers Danlos Syndromes, but exercises provided by professionals can help you support the joints.
