FAYETTEVILLE AND SURROUNDING AREAS!!!
I've been invited to Competitor's Edge Massage in Fayetteville, AR this September to teach my hEDS classes!
Heather Pelz, MTI is teaching an intensive course on Hypermobile/Ehlers Danlos and Hypermobility Spectrum disorders. Ever have that patient who is in pain but you can’t find the restrictions? This class series will help you understand why and how we as massage therapists can help, and the contraindications to help us avoid harming this group (THIS GROUP IS VERY EASY TO HARM).
Why take this course? This is a chronically underserved population of clients! Figures range from 30% prevalence predominantly asymptomatic and approximately 10% symptomatic, to an Ehlers Danlos estimate in the US of 1 in 5,000 (.02%) to .75-2% affecting approximately 10 million people, with 80-90% being the hEDS type. It is considered the most common systemic inherited connective tissue disorder in humans. Clients with EDS present with one of the most chronically painful conditions in medicine and is now considered to be as painful or more painful than cancer pain.
My clients have requested that I take the hope and relief I provide to them and spread the information to others as far as possible so others like them can get relief as well.
Feel free to repost, share, and invite interested people into the Students of the Zebra (Hypermobility Education) group for EDS tidbits and new information!
