Finding a physical therapist who is knowledgeable about EDS and hypermobility has been really helpful for me. Physically, but also emotionally. Having someone affirm my pain by deeply understanding my body mechanics has been a really valuable form of support.

Exercise (if you can), such as strength training to stabilise joints (pilates is good) and gentle yoga but don’t overextend. Water aerobics is a good option too. Massages. Physical therapy. Regular therapy and journaling are always good. Pacing yourself, taking plenty of rest. Acupuncture works for some. I hope you are able to find something that works for you ❤️
