Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & Nordic Walking with Alison Cossons
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.
