Listen Later

In this episode, we break down the key research on hypermobility and scoliosis, cutting through myths and weak evidence. Learn how hypermobility affects pain sensitivity, the real relationship between scoliosis and back pain, and why most exercise studies for scoliosis are low-quality. If you’re a movement professional or just curious about the science, this episode is for you.

What we'll cover:

  • What hypermobility really is and how it affects more than just the joints
  • Does scoliosis actually cause pain?
  • The surprising lack of strong evidence for scoliosis-specific exercise
  • Practical takeaways for movement professionals
