Caroline Campesi, DPT Featured in Chronic Pain Partners Discussing Scoliosis Care in EDS and Hypermobility
Individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility disorders frequently experience scoliosis differently than traditional models suggest. Joint laxity, altered proprioception, and challenges with postural stability can influence pain, fatigue, and functional capacity regardless of curve magnitude. Conservative rehabilitation strategies continue to evolve as clinicians better understand these complex presentations.
We are proud to share that Caroline Campesi, DPT, from Schroth DC, was recently featured in Chronic Pain Partners in an expert Q&A discussing scoliosis care in individuals with EDS and hypermobility disorders.
In the interview, Caroline highlights an important clinical reality: curve size alone does not always explain symptoms. Many individuals are told their curve is either too small or too large to account for their pain or instability, leaving other critical contributors unaddressed. Factors such as breathing mechanics, neuromuscular coordination, joint laxity, and spinal stability often play a significant role in how a person experiences their condition.
Understanding Scoliosis in Hypermobility and EDS
Increased awareness of connective tissue disorders has highlighted the need for individualized scoliosis care. Standard structural measurements provide valuable information, but they do not always reflect functional limitations or quality of life.
Conversations like this help bridge research, rehabilitation, and patient experience, reinforcing the importance of conservative, movement-based strategies that support long-term spinal health and stability.
