A practical guide to daily life with hypermobility-type EDS

Isobel Knight’s guide spans the path from recognising symptoms and seeking an initial diagnosis to managing the condition in everyday life. Its coverage brings together physical and psychological aspects, pain management, pregnancy, and considerations for children and adolescents, as well as the impact on dancers and other performance artists. The revised second edition adds material on terminology, osteopathy and nutrition, psychological approaches beyond CBT, navigating professional support, and support groups and rehabilitation programmes. The book presents these topics as part of a broad account of living with hypermobility-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; its guidance should be understood as the author’s coverage of the subject, not a substitute for individual medical advice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People living with, or seeking information about, hypermobility-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
  • Family members and friends supporting someone with the condition
  • Health professionals working with people who have hypermobility-type EDS
