Finding a physio who actually understands hypermobility

After seeing 4 physiotherapists who made my joints worse by stretching them (stretching! the thing you should never do with hEDS!), I finally found someone who understood. The search: look for PTs who list 'hypermobility' or 'EDS' specifically on their profile. Ask on the first call whether they focus on strengthening or stretching for hypermobile patients. If they say stretching, thank them and end the call. The right physio changed everything for me.

For me it was actually much better with an osteopath. where i come from they are all PT's as well but somthing about this gentle approach was so much better that repeated movements and strength work.
