Physiothereapy for Hypermobility / EDS / POTS
Hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS).
​
At Fit Bomb, our physiotherapists are experts in managing hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS).
Research shows that getting stronger and fitter leads to better a better quality of life both in the present and in the future for those with hypermobility and EDS.
Our physiotherapists design tailored management plans and exercise regimens that include both strengthening / stabilising and cardio-vascular exercise to enhance muscle support and stability around the joints, reduce pain, and minimise the risk of injury.
​
In addition, we place a strong emphasis on improving proprioception, which is crucial for better joint awareness and control. To further aid in symptom management, manual therapy techniques may be employed to relieve discomfort and improve functional capacity.​

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
​
Our physios are also trained in the management of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), which is often associated with these conditions. POTS can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and fatigue upon standing, making exercise and everyday tasks even more challenging for those with hypermobility or EDS. Our comprehensive approach aims to alleviate these symptoms through personalised exercise programs and lifestyle modifications.
A unique aspect of our physiotherapy program at Fit Bomb is the ability to incorporate Clinical Pilates into the management plan. Clinical Pilates is particularly beneficial for individuals with hypermobility, EDS or POTS as it focuses on building body awareness, strength and a balance of flexibility, all of which contribute to improved movement and joint stability. The low-impact nature of Pilates makes it an ideal exercise option, reducing strain while enhancing muscular endurance and coordination. Furthermore, Pilates exercises can be modified to accommodate individual needs and limitations, offering a safe and effective way to enhance physical function.
By addressing both the musculoskeletal aspects of hypermobility and EDS, as well as the autonomic challenges posed by POTS, our integrated treatment approach at Fit Bomb ensures a holistic management plan that empowers individuals to get the most out of their lives.
