Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) – Specialist Podiatry Care
At Neat feet Podiatry Care we understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). These conditions exist on a spectrum, often overlapping, and are sometimes recognized as the same entity. If you’re living with these conditions, you may experience joint instability, chronic pain, fatigue, frequent injuries, and difficulties with mobility—all of which can significantly impact your foot health and overall well-being.
Understanding Hypermobility, HSD & hEDS
Hypermobility refers to an increased range of movement in the joints, which can be present on its own or as part of a broader connective tissue disorder. The issue arises when joints are not only excessively flexible but also lack stability. While many people are naturally flexible, those with HSD or hEDS experience symptoms that go beyond flexibility, including musculoskeletal pain, joint dislocations, poor proprioception (body awareness), and soft tissue injuries.
What are hypermobility-related conditions
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a genetic connective tissue disorder. It affects collagen, the protein responsible for providing strength and support to all connective tissue, such as ligaments, skin, and blood vessels. As a result, individuals with hEDS often face foot and ankle instability, frequent sprains, arch collapse (flat feet), and difficulty with prolonged standing or walking.
