🌎 Around the world, individuals with hypermobility-related conditions are facing a similar dilemma: it’s hard to find physical therapists who understand their condition and can offer appropriate care. The result is too often frustration and despair at disbelief or poor results (and even worsening) instead of knowledgeable support, education and care. Often the patient even ends up educating the provider, and this is obviously not how it should be.

Here I’m trying to capture the scenario and suggest solutions for how patients can proceed when faced with this situation. Please chime in with constructive ideas and experiences. How have you solved the problem?

When managing or rehabilitating your hypermobile body, a better understanding of the way the body works can be extremely helpful.
Our understanding of the human body is continually evolving, and that’s why some newer information can sound surprising and even counterintuitive.
But if you have been dealing with the same problem forever and feel like it never changes, it may be a good time to look a bit deeper into why the muscle is tight, or why you’re struggling with the same postural issues, or have the hardest time creating better stability in your body.

Which ones of these sound like a duh! to
you and which ones are surprising?
