Hypermobility and EDS in circus training, with Jessie Raard | #15


Listen Later

I spoke to Jessie Rard about his unique journey from a self-taught semi-professional circus artist to coach, as they navigated health challenges like long COVID and hypermobility.

We discuss the importance of strength training for hypermobile individuals, the complexities of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and the intersection of neurodiversity with hypermobility.

We also chat about the Venn diagram of hypermobile, trans and neurodivergent people (which often seems like one big circle...)References:Prevalence of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in Transgender and Gender Diverse Individuals: A Retrospective Cohort Study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40986523/
