Gentle pilates tested as potential pain relief for bendy joints

This study is testing whether a 6-week Pilates exercise program, led by a physical therapist, can help adults with hypermobility conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome manage their pain and other symptoms. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable to participants, while also measuring changes in pain levels, physical function, and overall well-being. The research team wants to find out if this gentle, floor-based exercise method could be a helpful tool for people living with these chronic conditions.
