Webinar Outline:
This webinar will give a brief overview of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) including the subtypes and clinical manifestations. We will examine how this connective tissue disorder impacts our patient's lives and what therapeutic solutions we can offer to improve pain management, mobility and stability. EDS patients require different treatment strategies, and this will be explored in in depth. By the end of the webinar attendees will be able to identify potential EDS patients and consider their treatment options in light of this new information. They will gain confidence in prescribing or adapting treatments to accommodate the needs of an EDS patient or client.
