EDS, connective tissue & hypermobility- your treatment tribe!

Living with a connective tissue disorder, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorders, often brings daily challenges. From joint instability and chronic pain to fatigue and difficulties with daily tasks, these conditions can impact quality of life in complex ways.
These conditions are often 'silent' and misunderstood by health professionals- making finding your treatment tribe vitally important to your physical and mental health.

At AHHOT we are Occupational Therapists who understand the impact of these conditions on the body, and our lead hand therapist Jo has a special interest in EDS and hypermobility/connective tissue disorders.
We believe Occupational Therapy can play a vital role in helping individuals manage symptoms, prevent injuries, and maintain independence. 

We can work with you to help prevent joint pain and dislocations, help maximise muscle strength, improve coordination and manage fatigue to maximise endurance. And we can address specific difficulties with activities of daily living.

And our expertise in Hand Therapy, offers high skill set in finding joint stabilisation options for finger, thumb, wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. Whether it be custom made or silver ring splints, compression gloves or gentle strengthening exercises- we will work with you to address your specific needs.
