Pilates for Hypermobility

A Resource for Bendy Bodies

Pilates for Hypermobility

Hypermobility is a super common trait that may predispose people to injury due to increased elasticity in their tissues. They have increased mobility and flexibility in their joints and can often move beyond a normal range of motion. But it's not all fun- They may commonly experience pain, laxity in connective tissues, frequent dislocations, clicking/clunking, light headedness with position change, clumsiness, unsteadiness, and more.

Movement and exercise can present some challenges to those with hypermobility, yet exercise is actually key to condition management. Often a regular exercise class is not the best format for those with hypermobility. Specific cues, modifications and an individualized programs are important. My colleague Emma and I have been working with hypermobile clients for years now and have seen the need for more programming at an affordable rate. Since individualized cues is sort of our specialty, we've created a course for hypermobile individuals that will help empower students to live differently in their bodies to prevent injury and minimize pain.

Do you know someone that is hypermobile? I would appreciate you sending the course info their way or asking me to send it to them. Help spread the word about this resource! Thank you!
