Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) are conditions that affect the connective tissue in the body. The microcellular components of connective tissue, known as the extracellular matrix (ECM), is the scaffolding that supports and connects various parts of our body. In people with HSD/hEDS, there are changes in this ECM within the…
Hypermobility and the fascia
by Dr Tina Wang Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) affect the body’s connective tissue, associated with changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the fascial system. These changes lead to inflammation and increased pain. One significant alteration is decreased stiffness and increased extensibility of connective tissues. Additionally, deep fascia, which envelops…
