Chinese Medicine and the Management of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Guide for Practitioners - Paperback
by Paula Bruno (Author), John Largess (Foreword by)
Hypermobility syndromes are more common, complex and varied than most practitioners realise. Every hypermobile patient is unique, and therefore challenging to treat using a pre-set paradigm or protocol. The hEDS population can be underserved by Western medicine and there is much that Chinese medicine can do for this community.
This book is one of the first of its kind - a Chinese Medicine text focusing specifically on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Presenting existing bio-medical narratives before providing an in-depth exploration of the Chinese Medicine paradigms, this guide gives an overview of comprehensive treatment scenarios and addresses issues faced by EDS patients including pain management, psycho-emotional challenges, disruption of gut health, and chronic inflammation, including post-Lyme syndrome.Paula Bruno, Ph.D., L.Ac. is a scholar, an educator, a health coach, an AOBTA-CP tui na therapist, and a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. In her first career, Dr. Bruno was a Spanish professor. Her area specialty was national trauma and how it filtered through art and literature. Her knowledge, experience, and expertise in the use of Chinese medicine to treat hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome has made her a sought-after authority on the topic. She maintains a busy practice in Austin, Texas and her online support of hypermobile wellbeing can be accessed at holistichealthandheds.com.
