s approach. in the state of Florida I have generally found that the problem is rarely where the pain appears. It takes an intuitive, knowledgeable and practiced hand to find the problem, the depth and balance it with the body. Included throughout this website is Information which should be considered educational and does not address all possible questions. It is not intended and should not be construed as medical advice. It is not meant to be a diagnosis but a spark of information to initiate a dialog with your Physician. The work I do is more specific, and comprehensive. It is supportive and restorative to the body. My clients often come to me with chronic problems that have found little if any "real" relief or healing. Body Balancing seeks to support your body's attempts to heal, not fight them! Complicated or multifaceted problems are often dismissed by our current model of medicine. I welcome them! (If you are looking for a happy finish, did you ever come to wrong place!

I was so impressed that someone else pointed out the lifting of the chest and the dynamics of postural position,.. but then like most he got stuck with the upper musculature and ignored the actual muscles involved.
When you bring the upper chest into place you are tightening the lats (lower back) and Lower Traps (lower rib area).
You can prove to yourself what i am saying. "feel the muscles around the lower part of your ribs,.. then lift your chest and feel what muscle tighten.
On top of that you cannot only tighten a muscle to balance an imbalance,.. you have to open/soften the pect minor. It has the position on the lever to pull the "ravens beak" to hold it in shortened position regardless of how much you try to tighten the musculature of the back. WHat you will actually do by tightening the back is strain the shoulder and vertebral position and really screw up your breathing.

well done! but only 1 link in the postural chain of a head forward posture!

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), fluoroquinolone toxicity, and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) all share a striking set of overlapping characteristics—particularly related to connective tissue dysfunction, collagen impairment, and neuromuscular instability.

Here’s a breakdown of their key commonalities:

🧬 1. Connective Tissue Fragility
All three conditions involve dysregulation or damage to connective tissues, especially collagen or collagen-like structures, which are essential for the integrity of joints, tendons, fascia, blood vessels, and skin.

EDS: Genetic defect in collagen synthesis or structure (often types I, III, or V).

Fluoroquinolone Toxicity: Quinolones damage collagen by upregulating matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), leading to tendon rupture, joint pain, and fascia breakdown.

Hypermobility Syndrome: A spectrum of disorders often involving subtle collagen irregularities leading to joint laxity and soft tissue instability.

💥 2. Joint Hypermobility & Instability
EDS and HSD both prominently feature joint hypermobility, frequent subluxations, dislocations, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Fluoroquinolone toxicity may induce joint instability secondary to collagen damage, even in previously stable joints.

⚡ 3. Neuromuscular and Proprioceptive Dysregulation
All three may involve impaired proprioception, leading to balance issues, muscle overcompensation, and chronic tension.

Muscle guarding, spasms, and neuropathic pain are commonly reported, particularly in fluoroquinolone toxicity and hEDS.

🩸 4. Autonomic Dysfunction (Dysautonomia / POTS)
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), fatigue, temperature regulation issues, and digestive motility problems are frequently seen in:

EDS (especially hypermobile type)

HSD

Post-fluoroquinolone syndrome (thought to be mitochondrial and neurologically mediated)

🧪 5. Systemic, Multi-Symptom Overlap
Symptom EDS, FQ Toxicity Hypermobility
Joint pain / hypermobility ✅ ⚠️ (induced) ✅
Tendon fragility ✅ ✅ ⚠️
Neuropathic pain ✅ ✅ ✅
Autonomic symptoms ✅ ✅ ✅
Fascia/dural tension ✅ ✅ ✅
Muscle guarding ✅ ✅ ✅
Skin fragility ✅ ⚠️ ⚠️

🔬 6. Mitochondrial & Collagen Cross-Talk
Fluoroquinolones damage mitochondria and connective tissue—linking two critical systems in pain and fatigue.

EDS and HSD may involve impaired tissue energy use, due to constant microtrauma and the metabolic burden of repair.

Some researchers suspect shared biochemical pathways, such as:

Upregulation of matrix-degrading enzymes (MMPs)

Oxidative stress

Impaired glycosaminoglycan regulation in fascia

🩺 Clinical Takeaway
From a therapeutic standpoint, all three conditions:

Are prone to chronic pain, slow healing, and autonomic imbalance

Worsen with aggressive therapies (e.g., overstretching, high-force manipulation)

Benefit from gentle fascial release, neuroregulation techniques, FSM, and individualized rehab focused on stability, not flexibility
