🧠💤 Fatigue in Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) is more than just feeling tired. It’s a profound physical and mental exhaustion. Fatigue can be categorized into three types:

📅 Recent: Lasting less than one month
📅 Prolonged: Lasting between one and six months
📅 Chronic: Lasting longer than six months

🔍 Fatigue is a common but often underestimated symptom in EDS and HSD. Chronic fatigue can greatly affect the quality of life. Let’s explore some causes.

🌙💤 Many people with EDS and HSD struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, and getting refreshing sleep. Poor sleep quality is a major contributor to feelings of tiredness.

😣 Chronic pain is prevalent in EDS and HSD and is strongly linked to fatigue. Pain disrupts sleep and drains energy, making fatigue worse.

🏋️‍♀️ EDS and HSD can make staying active difficult. Deconditioning, or reduced fitness and strength from inactivity, worsens symptoms and increases fatigue.

💔 Dysautonomia affects the autonomic nervous system, often seen in EDS and HSD patients as POTS or OH. This imbalance can keep the body in a constant “fight or flight” mode, making restful sleep elusive.

🔗 Any one of these factors can cause fatigue, but often, multiple factors interact and worsen each other. For example, chronic pain can lead to deconditioning, which can increase depression, creating a vicious cycle.

💪🧘‍♀️ Managing fatigue in EDS and HSD requires a holistic approach. Addressing pain, improving sleep quality, and staying as active as possible are key steps. Every little bit helps in breaking the cycle of fatigue.

Exciting news from the Medical University of South Carolina! 🧬 Researchers have identified kallikrein genetic variants in about 1/3 of individuals with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). They even replicated one of these variants in a mouse model, which displayed characteristics similar to hEDS. 🐭
❤️🤍🖤
hEDS is the most common form of EDS and is closely associated with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia.
❤️🤍🖤
Kallikreins are a family of proteases, enzymes that break down proteins, playing crucial roles in connective tissue, blood pressure regulation, immune function, and more.
❤️🤍🖤
🔬 However, this discovery does not change clinical care for hEDS patients with kallikrein variants at this time. It’s important to note that patients without these variants should not be denied an hEDS diagnosis if they meet other criteria.
❤️🤍🖤
This breakthrough is just the beginning, paving the way for more research into the role of kallikreins in hEDS, POTS, and MCAS. We hope it will lead to faster diagnoses and more effective treatments in the future.

🤍🖤❤️

"If you’re looking for a one of a kind physical therapy experience, Actify Physiotherapy is the place to be.

I am definitely a special case when it comes to health. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Hypermobility), which means nearly all of my joints tend to dislocate and/or tear.

I started seeing Dr. Perretto after my second of three hip surgeries, and I have gone twice a week for approximately two years. She has been nothing but a help to my health. She helped me realize why I kept finding “new” joint problems and went out of her way to refer me to other doctors to help diagnose my Hypermobility.

Dr. Perretto genuinely cares about her patients and is incredibly knowledgeable. She always finds a way to make things better. My jaw has been dislocating a lot lately, but it has become much more stable and hurts a lot less after therapy with her. She has helped in the stabilization of many of my joints and has eased me of great deals of pain. As a therapist, she goes above and beyond! I’d never want to go to anyone else!"

🌿 Managing POTS Symptoms 🌿

🤍🖤❤️

Living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can feel like navigating a maze of challenges. But fear not. Here are three effective ways to manage your POTS symptoms:

🤍🖤❤️

1️⃣ Stay Hydrated: Hydration is key to maintaining blood volume and supporting proper circulation, which can help alleviate symptoms like dizziness and lightheadedness. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and consider adding electrolytes to your regimen for an extra boost.

🤍🖤❤️

2️⃣ Gentle Exercise: While intense workouts may exacerbate POTS symptoms, gentle exercises like swimming, yoga, or walking can improve circulation, build strength, and enhance overall well-being. Start slowly, listen to your body, and gradually increase the intensity as you feel comfortable.

🤍🖤❤️

3️⃣ Mindful Rest: Utilize compression garments, such as compression stockings or abdominal binders, to improve venous return and minimize blood pooling in the lower extremities. Graduated compression can help regulate blood flow, reduce orthostatic intolerance, and alleviate symptoms of dizziness and fatigue.

🤍🖤❤️

Remember, managing POTS is a journey, and it's okay to seek support along the way.

🤍🖤❤️

If you have any questions or need personalized guidance on managing your POTS symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out.

🚫 Myth: Long Covid doesn't affect POTS symptoms.
✅ Fact: Long Covid can significantly worsen POTS symptoms, making management more challenging than ever.

🤍🖤❤️

Navigating the complexities of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) already presents its fair share of hurdles. But add Long Covid to the mix, and the challenges can escalate dramatically.

🤍🖤❤️

Long Covid, the lingering effects of Covid-19 infection, has been known to wreak havoc on various bodily systems, including the autonomic nervous system, which plays a pivotal role in regulating heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital functions.

🤍🖤❤️

For individuals with POTS, a condition characterized by an abnormal heart rate response to changes in posture, the consequences of Long Covid can be profound. Increased fatigue, dizziness, and heart rate irregularities are just a few of the symptoms that may intensify in the wake of Long Covid.

🤍🖤❤️

What does this mean for those grappling with POTS? It means that staying vigilant and proactive is more critical than ever. While the road ahead may seem daunting, it's essential to remember that you're not alone.

🤍🖤❤️

So, if you're experiencing worsening POTS symptoms in the aftermath of Long Covid, don't brush it it off.

🤔 Question: "What role does autonomic dysfunction play in POTS, and how does it contribute to symptoms?"

🤍🖤❤️

Understanding POTS involves delving into autonomic dysfunction, crucial in regulating heart rate, blood pressure, and more. In POTS, this dysfunction leads to symptoms like rapid heart rate and dizziness upon standing.

🤍🖤❤️

1️⃣ Blood Flow Regulation: Dysfunctional blood vessel regulation causes inadequate blood flow to the brain when standing, leading to dizziness and fainting.

🤍🖤❤️

2️⃣ Heart Rate Control: POTS causes an abnormal increase in heart rate upon standing due to dysregulated nervous system activity.

🤍🖤❤️

3️⃣ Baroreflex Function: Impaired baroreflex function results in inadequate responses to changes in blood pressure, worsening symptoms.

🤍🖤❤️

Understanding autonomic dysfunction in POTS is key for tailored management. From lifestyle changes to medical interventions, a multidisciplinary approach guided by experienced professionals is crucial for improving quality of life.

🤍🖤❤️

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need support in managing POTS.

Our Story

We Help Individuals with Hypermobility Take Control of Their Lives and Get Back to Doing What they LOVE.

The name ACTIFY developed out of our passion for wellness of both the body and the mind. The activation of our minds is essential to the success of our physical health. In rehabilitation of the body, neuroplasticity allows our brains to create new positive and powerful neural connections to override painful, ineffective and self-limiting habits and movement patterns. Neurons that fire together, wire together. So, if we focus on new efficient and effective functional movement patterns, we will build stronger, positive neural pathways. We can re-educate your nervous system through a hands on approach that creates uniquely chosen therapeutic activities for you. From restoring your posture to re-creating functional and pain-free movement patterns, when we activate the connection between body and mind, you get better quicker.

​Rather than focus only on your injury, we treat your whole body. Pain and injuries often come from imbalances, misalignment, or instability in the muscles, joints, soft tissue, and bone throughout the body and not just at the site of pain. If your body isn’t treated as a whole, you run the risk of having the same injury again or worse. From your first session, we get to work releasing muscle restrictions and restoring natural movement. For you, the impact is immediate, and it lasts.We work together with you to provide you with a multilayered treatment. We take the time to get to know you and ensure that our treatment will evolve as you get stronger. And when injury is no longer a limitation, we can help you optimize your body’s function with the same high level of attention using advanced methods of training.
