Abdominal neurovascular compression is more common in those with connective tissue pathologies and is frequently found with multiple compression sites. There is a lack of understanding of the influencing factors for this condition and how to treat it appropriately. The course will review those influencing factors and the treatment paradigm to consider how one might best approach an individual who is dealing with compression issues. We will review various influencing factors and provide suggestions for use in clinical settings with individuals.
Learning Objectives
- Consider the factors that contribute to the presentation of compression syndromes
- Interpret the patient’s presentation to determine treatment strategies to help with biomechanical issues associated with compression syndromes
- Formulate treatment strategies for the pressure system involvement in those with compression pathologies
- Consider general approaches to treatment and referrals for neurological involvement in compression syndromes if needed

Chapters & learning objectives
1. Contributing Factors to Abdominal Compression Pathologies in the HSD/EDS Population
This chapter will briefly review the key points discussed in our second presentation on abdominal compressions. This review includes the layers that are typically involved with compression pathologies in those with connective tissue–related disorders.
2. The Biomechanical Approach to Treatment: Respiration
This chapter will review the biomechanical issues that might be present, including rib cage mechanics, spinal alignment issues, and pelvic floor dysfunction, and how to incorporate these into treatment strategies for abdominal compressions.
3. The Biomechanical Approach to Treatment: Extremities and Posture
This chapter will discuss other factors that are important to pressure regulation. Our discussion of the lung, diaphragm, and other factors will include ideas for treatment and management.
4. Pressure Regulation and Neurological Treatment Strategies With Compression Syndromes
There is an autonomic component to diaphragm regulation. This chapter will review the various diagnoses that might coexist with diaphragm control issues that will need further investigation in an individual with compression and connective tissue pathologies.
