Medical providers commonly dismiss hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) as being benign. Those struggling with the complex and interacting systemic symptoms caused by their altered connective tissue can have worse health outcomes due to this limited view. Patients with HSD/EDS often fail in physical therapy, the treatment of choice for these conditions. This book explains the intricate interrelationships of the various systems of the body affected by connective tissue differences. It explores the impact of altered connective tissue from the cellular level to a whole person perspective and explains the problems leading to failed therapy attempts. This text is written for allied health professionals and astute patients, with summary boxes to call out key concepts and narrative patient stories to solidify learning. The reader will glean concrete ideas about how to modify healthcare and self care to improve outcomes and reverse the downward spiral of compounding health issues too often associated with HSD/EDS.

Dr. Patty has found great success in managing many coexisting conditions with HSD/EDS, and connective tissue pathologies as well, with frequency specific microcurrent. If purchased, the individual can use it for at-home treatment strategies throughout their lives as well. Currently, she offers purchase and programming of these units to individuals with symptomatic hypermobility. This device can treat and help stabilize a plethora of conditions and can be personalized to the individual (working on mold exposure, neural inflammation, tethered cord, etc.). To purchase and proceed with a unit, the patient will need to purchase the device and have consultations with Dr. Patty to determine the right choices for personalized protocols. This may take one or multiple sessions before the unit is programmed depending on the individual's presentation. Please contact us for pricing of the unit, and/or make an appointment with consultation to start the conversation of appropriate programming.

The Stott family has designed some T-shirts and other items to help support their future international adoption. All designs were drawn by family members! Themes include EDS, neurodiversity, and soul family. We will slowly add in more designs as we continue to create!

Dr. Patty and colleagues are working to create some protocols to use with different areas of the body and with different diagnoses. 

​

There is no consensus yet, but the protocol we are currently trying out is for issues around the craniocervical junction (upper cervical instability, cranial base compression, brainstem compression, suboccipital headaches, altered cranial blood flow, etc.). Current recommendation: 20 minutes at the cervicothoracic junction (spine at the shoulders), 20 minutes at the neck (covering the upper cervical spine), 20 minutes at the ossiput (base of the head).
