Are you a private practice or cashed-based physiotherapist who is seeing an influx of hypermobile clients? You are doing your normal treatment plans but nothing seems to be helping them feel better. In fact, sometimes they feel worse after treatment. Not only that, but they have other symptoms such as dizziness, and fatigue that you are not sure how to help.

In school, we learn to tell hypermobile clients to stop stretching and do more strengthening but research is now showing that there is so much more to it than that. Hypermobile people have changes in their connective tissue not only in their muscles and ligaments but throughout their entire body. This means that they have often have many more symptoms than just joint instability and pain.

Addressing lifestyle factors and healthy habits is a great way to help hypermobile people with these other symptoms. It will also allow for more effectiveness with your physiotherapy treatment plan.

 

The Hypermobility Handbook:

A Clinician’s Introduction to Managing Symptoms of Hypermobility

This ebook educates clinicians on how to help hypermobile people reduce pain and dizziness while also teaching them how to feel more stable and energized by incorporating easy lifestyle habits. These are the essential tips you need to know and teach before beginning an exercise program with hypermobility. 

By purchasing this ebook, you will have the resources necessary to get started addressing pain, dizziness, fatigue, and joint stability with your hypermobile clients, eliminating the need to research journal articles for hours.

 

WHAT’S INSIDE THE EBOOK?

  1. REGULATE THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Dizziness in hypermobility is a result of dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. Learn 7 different ways to help regulate the autonomic nervous system including 1 video of an easy eye exercise you prescribe to clients to do anywhere.

 

2. Decrease Pain

Pain in hypermobility comes from multiple different sources. In this section, we go through three different strategies you can start a treatment plan with to help reduce a client’s daily experience of pain. This section is not about strengthening but what other types of exercises can you do before strengthening.

 

3. Increase Joint Stability

Learn the difference between joint stability versus strengthening. Learn how to stabilize 3 of the most hypermobile joints: shoulders, hips, and knees including detailed videos. Also, learn where to get started with designing a strength training program for hypermobility.

 

4. Manage Fatigue

Fatigue can be a result of many different factors in hypermobility. Learn strategies you can educate your clients about to improve their sleep, how to pace themselves with fatigue and a few tricks to improve their energy overall.
