Last week, we talked about chronic ankle stability and exercises to address it. Today, we’re going to apply this concept to Jenna’s skating journey! Read on to hear from both Maeve and Jenna how to change theory to practice.

Maeve here! Ankle stability is a huge focus of mine, especially in my work with dancers and performers! Here are a few things I look for in my bendy clients when it comes to building ankle stability.

I started inline skating as a new form of exercise! I’m really bad at it and terrified of hurting myself, but am using my knowledge of movement to force myself to intentionally work on something I’m not good at. Let’s talk about the stages of Motor Learning and how I’m applying them to help me learn!

Does your head ever feel too heavy? You have important ligaments in your neck that can also be “too loose” when you’re hypermobile. Is this dangerous? What can we do about it? Let’s get into it!

Last week, we started a great conversation on social media about my big toe hypermobility and my fav shoes. I want to expand on some of the things we talked about in that post. If you missed the post, you can see it below.

Hello everyone, Maeve here with my first newsletter! I'm excited to be bringing my knowledge as a hypermobile physical therapist specializing in supporting dancers. This week I want to talk about having little “movement snacks” to keep your body in motion even when it's hard.

Did you know that compared to the general population, people with hypermobility are 3-6x more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea? What does this mean and what can we do about it?

Happy Summer time! Summer travel can be one of the biggest flare triggers for hypermobility, POTS, and MCAS. Here are 3 strategies to help you have a little more control of your symptoms this summer.

Hi Stretchy Pals, Chaos Coordinator Jess here with another Jess Special! I wanted to share my personal experience with getting different diagnoses throughout this recent medical journey and how it has impacted me.

It's been a wonderful month of celebrating and educating, but we're not done yet!

If you're reading this, you've probably seen our viral reels about clusters of quirky things that could be related to hypermobility! Wondering what these things are, why we do them, and what we can do about it? We've got you covered.

In honor of EDS awareness month, let's give some love and awareness to those ultra rare types! 

There are 13 types of EDS. Although hEDS (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) is the most common and usually what we talk about, we can’t leave our rare and ultra rare friends behind! 

May is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) awareness month. To celebrate, we’re launching a new program, YouTube series, fundraiser, discounts, and more!

I started a new medication, low dose naltrexone, and have heard a ton of mixed reviews about it for chronic fatigue, inflammation, & chronic illness. Research is limited, but here’s what I know & why I asked to try it.

I’m sure you’ve heard it’s important to regulate your nervous system, but what does that even mean? Let’s chat about it!

Allergy season is upon us once again. 🤧 Let’s talk about the connection between seasonal allergies and hypermobility.

I started with a new dietitian last week and am completely revamping my eating schedule. These things can be overwhelming and sometimes unsafe when you’re in a neurodivergent body. Here’s what I look for in a dietitian, benefits of seeing one, and how we can safely adjust food intake without restriction. Keep in mind that I do not have an eating disorder and treatment for an ED will be different.

Medicine can be a game changer in our day to day, but what are some other things we can do for pain relief? The research isn’t as convincing as we’d like, so it really comes down to what feels best for your body. Lets chat about common modalities, misconceptions, and what I personally recommend.

One reason many hypermobile people may struggle in physical therapy is the traditional model requires treating one joint at a time. Just working one joint often doesn’t take into account how all the pieces are working together. Even after an injury is rehabbed, how do we balance maintenance training when we have so many areas to focus on?
