Join Dr. Marcia Perretto, Founder and CEO of Actify Physiotherapy and Wellness, as she discusses the Actify Approach to pain management and reduction in patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD). This webinar is for both patients and healthcare workers alike who would like to learn more about this holistic approach to reduce pain and improve joint stability.
Patients with hEDS and HSD are prone to developing long term pain and fatigue. Sound like you? A well-rounded physical therapy program designed especially for this population can help treat joint instability, pain, and fatigue by focusing on closed-kinetic chain (CKC) exercises along with other targeted trainings. The Actify System is an evidence-based treatment that incorporates CKC exercises, multi-range isometric contractions, and proprioceptive training with sling training and neuromuscular re-education. The method uses a specific and gradual exercise progression in a pain-free approach, always keeping in mind each patient’s tolerance to activities. This holistic treatment has proven to help our patients in reducing their daily pain and improving their joint stability.
