That man stomach movement was incredible 💀

Positives: super flexibility
Negatives: a series of issues that outweigh the positives.
Conclusion: it is infact a disorder.

You and that one guy that tells you how to do calisthenics at home while perched on stuff are the sweetest fitness people I've ever seen.

my mom has EDS & it also impacts healing! since it's a connective tissue disorder, the healing process of wounds can take longer (you may need stitches in twice as long, for example). Thank you for addressing this & bringing awareness :)

Holy shit, i have hEDS and its rare you see a well known influencer mention it, thank you for spreading awareness!

[WilliamHollister]

Love that you keep bringing awareness to those of us with EDS AND showcasing ways to strengthen joints to minimize the dislocations ❤

The problem with having a connective tissue disorder is that connective tissue is literally what holds you together

[EranRaye]

I've got hEDS too! I'm so happy to be seeing more people in fitness starting to talk about this disorder because it really does inflict how much(if any) of certain exercises you can do

I HAVE HYPERMOBILE EDS TOO!! It actually comes from a mutation in the gene that produces type 3 collagen, which is important in hair, skin, nails, etc

[Bfstew]

Being hyper mobile also makes it easier to dislocate or hyper extend a joint. I learned that the hard way 🤣

Edit: Thanks for giving me some fun stories to read, have a great day✌️

I have EDS too. Haven't had a dislocation in 3 years! It used to happen at least monthly until I really started training.

[emmynoether]

[yujin]

Also have hEDS and would love to see more content about training with it!!

[jojok]

Thank you. I have EDS and was having trouble figuring out how to stretch a tight muscle. Much appreciated for the tip about activating the muscle.

[BuckOrosco]

Thank you for spreading awareness of EDS! Some of whay you mentioned sounds like POTS, and I'd recommwnd looking into it as it also affects your autonomic nervous system, which is pretty kuch anything your nerves affect.

Happy EDS awareness month!

My mother has Marfan's syndrome and I have it but I haven't been taken seriously by doctors yet but stretching is SO important to me. I have interstitial cystitis and I recently learned part of the reason why is I seem to have been born with pelvic floor dysfunction. I do yoga, stretching, and my PT does massages. I thought I had either endometriosis or Nutcracker syndrome, when my scans came up clean thank god and I spoke to the vein doctor about connective tissue disorder he said PT has helped patients like me and it did. I already have spider veins but no arterial issues. Also, when it comes to exercise I have to be so careful not to overdo it but to do it, so I tend to walk, bike, play with my nephew.

My IC has been doing better and I have been in much less pain although the massages hurt for a while and the butterfly style stretches too. Also yoga helps with the scoliosis pain.

Still working on my paperwork for the specialty clinic. The disease has taken much of my family, every step of it has been painful.

An interesting little thing is I seem to be prone to costochondritis so I try not to overwork the muscles over the ribs. It hurts like hell and it's harmless but you worry you're dying and then worry you will be dying and think you're fine.

I suppose yoga is both stretching and strength, but since not being put into pain olympics is PE anymore I have truly learned how good it is. I dunno if it's my connective tissue not knowing how to tissue particularly the joints but that touch your toes stuff is not for me.
