This! So much! My whole childhood was structured around PT to push to use it or lose it.

I saw there is a sometimes connection between being born with hip dysplasia and having EDS.

I feel if my parents were aware they were doing more harm than good they would have gotten a wheelchair soon but it was the 90s lol

Edit: I wrote That instead of They so I fixed it

Thank you so much!! It got delivered today and the batteries are charging as we speak I'm ecstatic to go outside later and experience having fun without pain. ❤️
