Living with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder can mean navigating persistent and sometimes unpredictable pain. Unfortunately, many people with these conditions often find it difficult to access appropriate support for their pain, or have even had negative experiences within traditional pain management services.

Join Soph for this free online event, as she helps make sense of the complex factors that can contribute to pain for those living in a bendy body, and how effective pain management approaches can be integrated with an up-to-date understanding of hypermobility disorders.

During this session, you will learn:

💡An overview of the many different factors and mechanisms that contribute to pain in hEDS/HSD, based on current research evidence

💡Nervous, immune, and endocrine system dysregulation in hEDS/HSD and how this connects to pain, and other common comorbid conditions (e.g. ME/CFS, POTS, MCAS)

💡Why the complexity of pain in EDS/HSD opens up a range of opportunities to better manage symptoms

💡Strategies and tools that can be incorporated within an evidence-informed approach to pain management in hEDS/HSD

This event is suitable for both patients and health professionals, and is open to anyone who wants to learn more about pain in EDS/HSD. The session will run for up to 90 minutes, with a one hour presentation followed by the opportunity for audience Q&A.
