We created a pros & cons of a diagnosis video on YouTube that answers your FAQ! Watch it on YouTube @TheHypermobileDPT

You can be strong AND unstable! Maybe you’re doing every exercise you’ve been told to do and can’t figure out why your pain isn’t getting better. There’s benefit to strength training whether or not you do it “right or wrong” But sometimes a few extra workouts focused on body awareness, limiting range of motion, connecting with your core, and building gentle stability can make a load of difference when it comes to tolerating movement If strength training has left you with more headaches, neck tension shoulder blade knots, wrist and hand pain, pinchy hips, and that really painful point on your back where your rib cage meets your spine… your body may need a step back to focus on stability and tension management Pocket PT offers a variety of stability programs that can supplement your current gym routine. We also offer 1:1 coaching if you need some extra guidance on how to manage your common problem areas Learn more at EmpoweredMovementPT.com ~~ This page involves my personal story and is not medical advice.

Swollen hands, rings don’t fit after exercise, or “sausage fingers”? This may be due to dysautonomia! Dysautonomia can lead to blood pumping less efficiently. This can happen for a variety of reasons but one reason within the hypermobile community is due to veins that are “too stretchy” Add in extra blood pumping with exercise and gravity and you may have significant swelling and heaviness of the hands. Hands overhead with hands pumping can help blood pump more efficiently back to your heart. Compression is another strategy that can help with blood pooling in hands or feet.

Can’t hold more than a few seconds? Try doing this leaning into a wall first! Wrist pain? Come up on fists, try on wall to build up stability gradually, or hold onto a dumbbell or towel to keep wrists neutral. More long form content coming soon on elbow positioning, what’s normal, and how to activate stabilizer muscles. Make sure you’re following! 💖

Some of you may know, I recently moved from Washington DC to Atlanta. It’s been quite a journey, and I dearly miss my TWB team! It was a constant joy to learn, collaborate, and support each other— the dancers, the clinicians, and all. I’m very excited for my next step— working with the Atlanta Ballet! I’m ready to show up curious, discover new approaches, meet new people, and continue to show up wholeheartedly in the dance company environment. Very grateful ☺️

A targeted, 8 minute warm-up can be so effective! This preps the body for the movement we’re about to do in order to keep it less risky. After falling a lot in this video, I didn’t fall on skates again today! Pocket PT is our app that provides bite sized movement routines for common hypermobile problem areas. This workout is a custom one designed by @mct__dpt in a 1:1 coaching call at @empoweredmovementpt 🛼
