Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: Championing Mobility with Austin Manual Therapy
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) might not be as commonly discussed as some other conditions, but its impact on athletic individuals can be profound. At Austin Manual Therapy, our mission is to guide you through the complexities of EDS, equipping you with the knowledge and tools you need to continue pursuing your athletic passions with confidence.
Understanding Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
EDS is a collection of connective tissue disorders primarily affecting the skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. People with EDS tend to have overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin, which can pose unique challenges, especially for athletes.
