Professionals

We have two copies of Kevin Muldowney’s “Living Life To The Fullest With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome” available for health care professionals to borrow to help set up a physical therapy plan for EDS patients. Kevin Muldowney, MsPT, has been treating people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome since 2005 and has developed this exercise protocol to help stabilise the many joint subluxations/dislocations associated with EDS. This book is intended for the person diagnosed with EDS to both inform them about the healthcare team needed to properly treat them as well as to guide both the physical therapist and their patient with EDS through the Muldowney exercise protocol. This book will cover such topics as: how joints sublux in this population, how to find the right physical therapist, how to exercise without injury and what physical therapy techniques works best. By the end of this protocol people with EDS should be better informed about what is going on with their body and how to make it better. Please contact us if you would like to borrow a copy or are interested in other resources that may help treat a person with HSD/EDS.

The NZ Ehlers-Danlos Clinical Pathway.
