High impact exercise should be avoided. You should also avoid anything that raises pressure in the eyes (like diving). Yoga and swimming are great exercises for people with Stickler.

Absolutely exercise if you can but you probably shouldn't be doing power squats.

I personally have found water and stationary bicycling beneficial as often there is no muscle tone with Stickler's Syndrome. Water exercising offers muscle strengthening and doing so without putting stress on weight bearing joints. Bicycling and Frisbee or regular golf can be great exercise also since it can burn calories and help with weight management. Warm water exercising can be a great form of exercising as you age.

Excessive exercising can be wearing on someone who does not possess the collagen (the body's glue) everyone has to hold together the joints.

I have type 2 and have always been involved in sport. Football, Rugby and Judo. I'm 43 and have started to slow down, the recovery time is now pretty slow BUT as yet my retinas are still original.
I've always done high impact and don't intend to stop.
Always listen to your body, mind and doctor.
