My Life With Hypermobility


Listen Later

Hypermobility affects up to 30% of women, yet it is a misunderstood and oftentimes overlooked diagnosis. It can play a role in joint pain, muscle pain, exercise, anxiety, endometriosis, prolapse, dizziness and so much more. 

In today's episode, Jessica shares both the facts and science behind hypermobility, as well as her own journey since discovering she is on the spectrum and deals with hypermobility in her own body. You'll learn:

- The exact definition of hypermobility (it's not just a bendy body!)

- Why it's vital to stay strong and exercise and the safest movement plan for hypermobile bodies

- Why Jessica ultimately felt empowered when she finally realized she fell on the hypermobility spectrum and how it informs the choices she makes for her body

- The other body systems that can be affected when you have hypermobility

Jessica has worked with hundreds of clients who have ultimately found healing, strength and safety in their hypermobile bodies. She is passionate about sharing that knowledge and experience with you.
