WATCH: 16-year-old Trissanna is in constant pain. She was born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, causing hypermobility in her joints, which constantly dislocate. Variety has been a constant for Trissanna and her mother – providing her with leg braces, orthotics, a body brace, and hydrotherapy, and physiotherapy sessions. The therapy sessions have been helping keep Trissanna’s joints flexible and mobile.
