HSD/EDS, MCAS, and POTS

Course overview

This course introduces the trifecta of disorders that occur more frequently together: hypermobility spectrum disorders/Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, mast cell activation syndrome, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Within this course, we review the prevalence of the conditions, the clinical presentation that may be seen with each condition, how the conditions affect each other, how the conditions may affect rehab and healing potential, and some self-management strategies for the systemic issues. This course is appropriate for those in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, and nursing.
