Is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome More Than Joint Hypermobility?

Is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome More Than Joint Hypermobility? Many people think Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is simply a condition that makes someone "double-jointed" or unusually flexible. The reality is much more complex. Because EDS involves differences in collagen and connective tissue, its effects can extend throughout the body—including the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. This is why two people with the same diagnosis can have very different experiences and symptoms. In this clip, Dr. Marcia Perretto explains what all forms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome have in common, why hypermobility is only part of the story, and how connective tissue influences nearly every system in the body. If you're a movement professional, healthcare provider, or someone living with hypermobility, understanding the broader picture of EDS is essential. 🎙️ Watch the full episode of The Hypermobility Puzzle on Live Aligned with Dr. Brent Anderson. #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #EDS #Hypermobility #HypermobileEDS #ConnectiveTissueDisorder
