In this episode, I speak to Alison Cossons, a former occupational therapist, who has hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which was evident from birth however she was only diagnosed in her late 30s alongside her young son. Alison is a regular Nordic Walker with Nordic4 and attends classes run by both Katie Atkins and Emma Webb.
Alison mentions this YouTube clip in her interview: https://youtu.be/YxfkWAPMdg8 Jason Perry - Practical Pacing and Fatigue Management within the Ehlers Danlos Society YouTube account.

Alison’s family will be forever grateful to Professor Rodney Grahame (https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/rodney-grahame/ ) who made these diagnoses for them, and later for Alison’s daughter. Alison and her family continue to receive online and hydrotherapy physiotherapy from Rachel Lewis (www.physio-hydro.com) who has known Alison following the birth of Alison’s son.
