Description
This comprehensive guide examines the role of fascial dysfunction in hypermobility disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. It applies cutting-edge research on fascia pathology to the symptom-focused sphere of HSD/EDS, allowing practitioners to increase diagnostic accuracy and leading to effective treatment regimens for patients. Chapters include assessment techniques, including imaging methods, and integrative care approaches that blend holistic wellbeing with movement therapy, manual therapy, injection therapy, and more. By understanding how fascial abnormalities contribute to joint instability, connective tissue problems and chronic pain, practitioners can work on the root causes of patients' issues and provide targeted treatment options.
Essential reading for medical professionals, manual therapists, movement practitioners, or anyone looking for a fresh perspective on hypermobility disorders, this book will deepen your understanding of fascia and strengthen your practice.

Reviews / Votes
I am deeply impressed by Tina Wang's Fascia and Hypermobility Disorders. It is not only a milestone contribution but also an inspiring synthesis of science and clinical wisdom. This book profoundly advances our understanding of fascia and hypermobility. * Robert Schleip, PhD, Director of Fascia Research Group, Technical University of Munich & Ulm University * Dr Wang brilliantly unites two long-neglected pillars of hypermobility care: the dynamic fascia system and tailored, progressive movement. She captures the crucial interplay between fascia and movement that is so often overlooked. This book offers clarity and integration that will be so valuable for clinicians, manual therapists and movement professionals. * Jeannie Di Bon, MSc, MA. Movement Therapist and Founder of The Zebra Club * A timely and valuable resource for the EDS and HSD community, this book deepens understanding of the fascial mechanisms underlying hypermobility disorders. It equips clinicians with knowledge that can translate into more accurate diagnosis and compassionate, evidence-based care. * Lara Bloom, President & CEO, The Ehlers-Danlos Society * The book presents an excellent summary of fascial knowledge and explains hypermobility disfunctions related to connective tissue. * Antonio Stecco, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University School of Medicine President of Fascial Manipulation Association *More details
