A Free Webinar in Honor of EDS/HSD Awareness Month
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 inherited, genetic connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, stretchy skin, chronic pain, severe fatigue, easy bruising, and slow wound healing. While EDS is gaining awareness, many people don’t know that studies have found a link between certain types of EDS and endometriosis.
This free webinar hosted by New York Women’s CBT and Solstice Physiotherapy will bring together experts, including ESSE Care’s Dr. Amanda Chu, on a multidisciplinary panel. The panel will discuss the links between EDS/HSD and endometriosis with the goal of empowering patients and providers.
