EDS & Hypermobility

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome & Hypermobility

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome comprises 13 subtypes of heritable connective tissue disorder, the most common of which — hypermobile EDS — has no identified genetic marker and is diagnosed entirely on clinical criteria. The condition is closely linked to dysautonomia and POTS through shared mechanisms involving proprioceptive impairment, reduced vascular and venous tone, and connective tissue laxity that affects orthostatic blood distribution.
