Over the 14 years specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy many of my patients presented with the symptoms without a cleared diagnosis.
I have always had a respect my patient approach to patient care. Meaning, how important it is to listen to a person in front of me as to how to guide them through their care.
I am in the process of learning more about this diagnosis.
If you were looking for a holistic approach that is not cookie cutter, let’s talk. Like to offer my services as part of our healthcare team.

What are the types of EDS?
The current classification includes 13 types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS).
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.
🧬Arthrochalasia EDS (aEDS)
🧬Brittle Cornea Syndrome (BCS)
🧬Cardiac-valvular EDS (cvEDS)
🧬Classical EDS (cEDS)
🧬Classical-like EDS (clEDS)
🧬Dermatosparaxis EDS (dEDS)
🧬Hypermobile EDS (hEDS)
🧬Kyphoscoliotic EDS (kEDS)
🧬Musculocontractural EDS (mcEDS)
🧬Myopathic EDS (mEDS)
🧬Periodontal EDS (pEDS)
🧬Spondylodysplastic EDS (spEDS)
🧬Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (vEDS)
Each type of EDS is caused by variants in specific genes that provide the instructions for making collagens and related proteins. Some types of EDS are associated with multiple different genes. The genetic cause(s) of hEDS have not been identified.
