Chronic Health Conditions
At Mobilates, we embrace everyone's individuality and provide a person-centred approach to exercise activities. Below, you will find details of some of the most common conditions our members live with, some information about them, and some top tips on exercising while staying safe and supported.
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD)
The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders. The conditions are caused by genetic changes that affect connective tissue. Each type of EDS has its own set of features with distinct diagnostic criteria. Some features are seen across all types of EDS, including joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility.
'Mobilates for me has been life-changing and that’s not an exaggeration. I am physically stronger, in less pain, have suffered no dislocations and am mentally much happier and more relaxed too' (Amy)
When doing arm work keep elbows soft and hands within your field of vision. When standing keep knees soft but not too bent and sit when needed. Ensure your pelvis stays in a neutral position and keep all moves slow, small and mindful.
