Help! I'm Hypermobile

Hypermobility and Exercise? It's Complicated


Listen Later

Today we're talking all about EXERCISE! Topics include:

  • why exercise can (when done safely + appropriately) literally help hypermobile people to literally rebuild their bodies
  • a bit about Alex's personal journey with exercise, and some lessons she learned along the way
  • 8 must-know things before starting your next exercise programme
  • a cheat-sheet for "Am I Getting Injured or Is This Just What Exercise Feels Like?"

  • The study that I refer to about being in the top 1/3 when it comes to strength at middle age is here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11357-011-9256-y⁠
