People with Hypermobility Syndrome (HMS), including Ehlers-Danlos type Hypermobility Syndrome, have a larger range of joint movement than is typical, which can cause pain and fatigue despite an outward appearance of good health. This book is the complete guide to living with and managing HMS, and ultimately enjoying a fulfilling life. The book covers everything from recognising symptoms and obtaining initial diagnosis to living with the condition on a daily basis and managing its negative effects. The author, who has HMS herself, looks at how the condition affects children and adolescents, before moving on to explore pain management (including the use of physiotherapy, pilates and a selected range of complementary health therapies), pregnancy, physical and psychological aspects of the condition, and how it widely affects dancers and other performance artists. Wider conditions that encompass Hypermobility Syndrome are also touched upon, including Fibromyalgia and IBS. This book will be a must for anybody who suffers, or suspects they might be suffering from, Hypermobility Syndrome. It will also be of interest to their families and friends, and professionals working with the condition.

EDS and Hypermobility Syndrome are diseases of connective tissue. They impact the quality of life, relationships and earning ability, among many others as well as carrying with them severe, and often intractable, pain. Given that connective tissue is distributed throughout the body, poor quality connective tissue has the ability to affect, tendon, ligaments, bones, skin and gut. Good quality connective tissue requires the necessary collagen forming building blocks to be in place before it can be synthesised. Most of this - if the necessary materials are present - will take place in the body but sometimes defective genes and defective diets (which could ameliorate the effects of rogue genes) prevent this from happening.The author argues that the massive changes in our diets which have occurred since the post war years have produced an increase in certain diseases which are the result of poor nutritional status. Our current eating choices have largely done away with three of the four essential building blocks necessary to build strong connective tissue. The author explains how to eat to introduce these substances back into the diet which will not only help you to build healthy tissue, but will also aid sleep as well as reduce inflammation and build lean muscle mass.This is a sequel to The Journey: living with EDS and chronic pain

The “trifecta” refers to three conditions that commonly occur together: mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). These three conditions are gradually becoming more recognized in the mainstream medical world as more and more patients find themselves struggling with debilitating and often mysterious symptoms. However, recognizing these conditions is only the first step on the healing journey. With the right approach and toolbox, patients can reverse many of these symptoms to find lasting vitality. Written by a Doctor of Physical Therapy who has additional certifications in functional medicine and nutrition and extensive experience in working with these conditions, this book serves as patient guide that empowers individuals to put all of the puzzle pieces together as part of an individualized healing plan. Part One (3 chapters) is an overview of the three trifecta conditions, and Part Two (9 chapters) outlines the important pillars of an essential plan to address any (or all) of these conditions holistically. The book wraps up with a chapter of patient case stories. Accompanying the purchase of this book is access to a free 20-page PDF document that serves as a customizable workbook for readers to use as they read along. The Trifecta Passport dives into topics such as nervous system regulation, mold and other biotoxins, nutrition, exercise, detoxification, mental/emotional health and trauma, structural/musculoskeletal issues and the many underlying root issues (related to hormones, bacterial/viral load, gut health, etc.) that can trigger or exacerbate these conditions. This resource unpacks many different tools and practical treatment options that should be on the radar of patients living with these (and other) chronic conditions. When faced with these labels, it can be overwhelming to weed through all the resources out there to figure out how to move forward with a comprehensive and personalized road map. By helping readers put it all together in an organized manner, this book is a great resource for any patient with chronic illness as well as the caregivers and doctors who support them.

Foreword by New York Times Best Selling AuthorThere are many exercise books on the market today and we are well informed on the need and benefits to move and exercise more.

I have found out that this book is not the usual, traditional exercise manual - it is a lifestyle game changer.

This listing is for the 7x10 full-color version of the paperback book. An inspirational collection of stories, filled with devastation, heartbreak, triumph, and strength as written by those affected by different types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. EDS is a group of heritable connective tissue disorders that can cause a wide variety of symptoms throughout different body systems; each unique in presentation to the individual. The variety of symptoms and presentations proves challenging to the medical community in diagnosing and treating patients; many of whom are misdiagnosed and suffer as a result. EDS has been commonly viewed as just Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (BJHS/JHS) or Hypermobility Syndrome (HMS). Based upon recent research, the prevalence of EDS exceeds current estimates. Kendra Neilsen Myles founded Sisters Media, LLC with core values of giving back and providing an outlet to those willing to share their stories through submissions in the Our Stories of Strength anthology series. Sisters Media, LLC recognizes that it is through opening doors to needed conversations and sharing stories of strength, determination, and perseverance that we are able to facilitate positive changes to the way we live and help shape perceptions of those around us, as well as in the medical community.
