Ready for a hypermobility book launch? Come join me with 🤗.

It’s been a busy week with the launch of the new .zebra.club app. But the action continues and supporting the community in anyway I can is my priority.

This coming week sees the official launch of my new book - The Integral Movement Method for Hypermobility. This is for practitioners & patients with my evidence-based movement method.

The wonderful team are hosting me for a free live book launch online. Details & booking on their website now open. Plus I’ll share a link in today’s stories. There’s a chance to win 🏆 your own book copy too.

Want to join us for a chat about movement & my method’s success in hypermobility management? Sign up soon - spaces are limited.

We are live. We are launched. And we are here to improve the care and management of the hEDS & HSD community with evidence based movement therapy, expert education and a global support network like no other you’ll find.

This brand new launch is designed with what you need - we’ve been listening for five years. We went away and designed something really special. And from our first day of launch, it sounds like you think it’s really special too.

If you have hEDS, HSD, POTs, CFS or ME or chronic pain, this app is for you. There’s a 7 day free trial for everyone - come take a free look around. Meet some people who really get you. And enjoy movement that really understands our bodies with me.

Available on both app stores and our website.

See you there 🦓💪

I want to reassure you. I get asked this a lot - will a flare up erase all your progress?

Living with hEDS/HSD doesn’t move in a straight line. There are setbacks, flares, pauses, and progress.

You might feel strong one day and fatigued the next but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

For us, progress isn’t perfection. It’s going low and slow, building tissue tolerance at our own pace.

What’s one thing you’ve done this year that you couldn’t do last year? Let’s celebrate real wins. Let’s have a Wednesday Win 🏆 day.

Even at my age now, I’m still ❤️ a W sit. I used to do it as a child and I can still do it now. But why does it feel good in hypermobility?

If you see yourself in this, you’re not alone. Many people with hypermobility are drawn to the W sit.

So many of us use W-sitting to feel grounded and stable. It gives us a bigger base of support.

But there are some downsides to it. It can place more load through the hips, knees and ankles than we realise.
We don’t need to shame or ban the position, but we need to pattern in more options. And teach ourselves other ways to sit without increasing strain.

Swipe to learn gentle alternative positions. What’s your favourite sitting position?

Here’s to new beginnings: the Zebra Club app has had a full makeover. It’s been built with your needs in mind, it’s even more accessible, more you-centric.

Whether you’re living with EDS/HSD or guiding someone who is — we’ve got you. Welcome home. 💙

My new blog - link in comments, today’s stories or website - explains how the .zebra.club was born and where we are heading.

Looking well doesn’t mean you are well, especially when you live with a condition like EDS or HSD.

EDS is an invisible illness. You might look put-together, calm, and strong on the outside but still be dealing with dislocations, fatigue, brain fog, or internal pain.

We need to stop being judged by appearances and start having our lived experiences really listened to.

Of course, if we showed how we are really feeling sometimes, we’d probably get labelled hysterical. So we stay calm and quiet.

What symptoms are invisible to others but affect you daily? Let’s name them.

From Student to Educator 🦓💪.

In 2009, I trained in my studio certification with Polestar Pilates UK, whose high standards and scientific approach to Pilates profoundly shaped my career.

Now for 2026, I’m honoured to be back joining their educator team in London to deliver my Integral Movement Method (IMM) certification courses. The IMM brings trauma-informed, evidence-based movement principles to professionals supporting clients with EDS, HSD and chronic pain.

The IMM is designed for specifically for hypermobility, integrating the nervous system regulation, safety, body awareness and true stability by following my six key principles.

➡️ If you’re interested in becoming an IMM certified professional to work with hypermobile and EDS clients, come join me at Polestar Pilates UK in 2026 — details are now available on their website. Link in the comments.

Can’t wait to meet you for these in person courses. .

When I first read the book The Body Keeps The Score, I had many lightbulb moments about my own body. The book highlighted that our bodies remember what our minds try to forget. This shows up in how we move, stand, react to movement, breathe and relax.

Living with EDS or hypermobility often means carrying invisible stories of pain, injury, or fear.

In my latest blog, I explore how trauma-informed movement helps regulate the nervous system and rebuild trust with your body, with one gentle step at a time. Go Low, Go Slow.

It’s not about pushing through pain or fatigue. It’s about feeling safe to move again. Unless we feel a sense of safety, it’s going to be hard to progress.

You can read my article on this movement approach in the comments, my website and today’s stories.

Have you found movement has helped you? Let’s share in the comments.

If your doctor only asks about joint pain, they’re missing half the picture.

EDS/HSD pain can come from dysautonomia, muscle tension, fascial restriction, poor proprioception, and even nerve irritation. It’s not just joint instability.

Focusing only on joints means we miss opportunities to manage pain more effectively. We get dismissed. And yes, there are still people who believe pain isn’t part of having hypermobility 🤯.

Ideally, we need an integrative view of pain, because EDS is a full-body condition. The connective tissue is everywhere in the body.

Where do you feel your pain the most? Let’s start naming the less obvious areas. We need this information to be more widely known clinically.

It’s almost time.

We’re working behind the scenes to bring you an even better app. Designed by you. For you.

More info coming soon, but don’t worry, Jeannie Di Bon is here to guide you.

I’m so proud to share this new article with the Hypermobility Syndromes Association . It explores what our latest study revealed about the Integral Movement Method (IMM) for people with EDS and HSD.

This research means so much to me. It highlights how movement can be safe, stabilising, and empowering, starting with nervous system regulation. Exercise shouldn’t be fear-based or overwhelming and yet it is for so many of us.

Movement is about rebuilding confidence and connection with our bodies and minds. And feeling safe.

If you’ve ever felt afraid to move or unsure where to start, this study might give you hope and important guidance.
