Patients with these conditions need to be treated carefully by a physiotherapist. To understand that the patient is the expert with the condition. The patient's exercise tolerance is at the forefront of our minds. At Dr Zo The Physio we have treated a number of patients with these. condition, receiving comments such as "this is the first time I've actually felt listened to", "To not be told I just need to keep trying and build up tolerance is so refreshing"
Polymyalgia
Polymyalgia Rheumatic is an inflammatory autoimmune condition. When the patient has a flare up it is not typically one joint. It is a system wide inflammatory process, which needs to be managed carefully. Considerations for elements such as bone density due to steroid use and pacing to avoid flare ups. It is certainly not no pain no gain. The body needs to be gently encouraged to move to avoid flare ups but to help reduce stiffness.
Hypermobility/EDS
We have treated large number of patients with this issue and take careful consideration when prescribing exercises. This condition needs to be considered for the body as a whole, we are not just discussing a bit of extra mobility in a joint. It affects the body as a whole impacting on areas such as gastrointestinal systems and eyesight to name just a few.
