Safe Exercise Alternatives for Joint Strengthening and Muscle Building with hEDS and POTS

Thank you for the advice, everyone! Will definitely look into the yoga. Unfortunately we don’t have pools open here until summer. Can’t wait to try, though!

Stretching makes me feel good and certain yoga poses but nothing that will hyper extend. It’s trial and error. I heard swimming is good but not accessible to everyone. Sending love 💕

Jeannie Di Bon is a PT with EDS, and she has a ton of online resources and exercises

ive heard there are yoga videos for people with hEDS on youtube, maybe start there?

Swimming would be good to - no pressure on your joints

Same here, I have heard of a specific type of yoga, but without being sure I can’t recommend.

cheers Chrys. I relate to this. I had to stop PT and OT because it was making my pain and mobility worse instead of better. I will wait with you for suggestions and advice.
