Hello, and welcome to some more facts about Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, EDS and proprioception.

Last week I shared the 8 types of senses within our human body and today I am sharing why having an Hypermobility- EDS assessment is important.

Specifically acknowledging that Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome can impact our bodies ability to sense its own positition, and where we are as we move. taken from the EDS Clinic article.

Learning ways to manage proprioception will help set you up for success as we improve your balance, strength and body awareness.

I will add the link to the article in the comments

When its time for your massage and you body has to decide who's up for this appointment:

Will it be your sciatic pain, low back pain or shoulder pain? We can cover alot in a 60 minute massage so it could potentially be all 3!

For the week of July 27th to July 3qst the following appointments are available:

Monday July 27th 4:30 pm

Wednesday July 29th 3:45 pm 45 min

Friday July 31st 2 pm and 3:30 pm

Good morning, I hope your Wednesday is off to a great start!

Over the last couple weeks I have shared what is Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and what is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, today I am sharing what are the sensory symptoms in our body.

Next week I will talk about why its important to know these sensory systems and how the relate to HSD and EDS.

Did you know that there are 8 sensory systems in our body?

Most of you will likely know the first 5, the remaining 3 are just as important.

Here are the 8 sensory systems in our bodies:
1. Vision (Sight)

2. Audition (Hearing)

3. Oldfaction (smell)

4. Gustation (taste)

5. Tactition (touch)

6. Vestibular (balance)

7. Proprioception (body awareness)

8. Interoception (organ signals)

My biggest regret in life is booking regular massage.....said no one ever!

Its Wednesday so its time for a another edition of what is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders. The conditions are caused by genetic changes that affect connective tissue. Each type of EDS has its own set of features with distinct diagnostic criteria. Some features are seen across all types of EDS, including joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility.

Nows your chance to get some TLC for those chronically tight and sore muscles!

Happy Wednesday today I am a going to share more about Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. Specifically what the clinic definition is of Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder.

Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) are connective tissue disorders that cause joint hypermobility, instability, injury, and pain. Other problems such as fatigue, headaches, GI problems, and autonomic dysfunction are often seen as part of HSD.

Your search for a Registered Massage Therapist that understands Hypermobility and EDS is over!

Living with suspected or diagnosed Hypermobility, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome can be confusing, challenging and maybe a bit lonely.

Others may have dismissed your symptom, this appointment may change that.

One of the unfortunate things about Hypermobility and EDS is the lack of understanding of a) what they are b) how complex they can be and c) how these conditions impact the full body, not just in the joints through extra range of motion or instability.

I'd like to now introduce you to the Hypermobility - EDS Assessment and massage therapy appointment. In the Assessment portion of this appointment, we take a look at a wide range of possible symptoms you may be experiencing, assess for joints that have extra range of motion, and look at your previous history with things like flexibility.

Next we establish the symptoms affecting you most, we formulate a plan for your massage therapy appointment and exercises to help you manage your symptoms.

Your search is over, your symptoms are reviewed and validated, you got a massage and tips to manage your Hypermobile or EDS body in a whole new way.

A few highlights from June.
