How we think about movement when living with hypermobiliy is a subject I’m super interested in, so I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to chat with Joint Hypermobility & Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Movement Therapist, Jeannie Di Bon.
I’ve worked with Jeannie a couple of times in the past and I personally found her approach to the hypermobile body so refreshing.
In today’s episode of The Rest Room, we have a wide-ranging and personal discussion. Like with every conversation about movement and activity, please always use your own best judgement about your health and your ability levels.
Read the transcript here.
Do check out Jeannie’s website and YouTube channel for lots of helpful information, videos and advice. You can learn more about The Zebra Club here, and here's the video Jeannie mentioned about deconditioning.
Thanks to my brilliant producer Philly Guillou at OG Podcasts, to Lucy Dove for the episode art, and to Amit Rai for my intro music.
There’s also an issue for premium subscribers digging into more detail about learning to feel safer in my body, that is a lovely follow-on from what you’re about to listen to. Find out more here.
