Hypermobility Ligament Disorder
Conditions that can cause joint hypermobility are Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), Marfan Syndrome or Osteogenesis imperfecta. It affects the body's connective tissues.
Hypermobility Ligament Disorder
Hypermobility ligament disorder is a genetic condition whereby ligaments and connective tissue are lax or loose causing instability in the associated joints . When they are loose the joints don’t hold themselves together the way they should. This can cause painful muscles as they try to support the loose ligaments at the joints. There are varying levels of this condition and at worse can become very disabling. Oftentimes children and teenager with this condition are considering a career in professional ice skating or gymnastics due to their ability to be flexible and move with ease. Matrix Repatterning and imagery with movement are the best therapeutic techniques I’ve used on people experiencing this issue. This technique supports strength, flexibility, ease of movement and reduces their pain. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is an effect treatment.
