This is why EDS & HSD patients struggle to get the right care post diagnosis.

My apologies for the zoom quality, but not for the message.

In 2025, we still have NO formal exercise guidelines for hypermobility. That means that our community are left guessing how to move safely. Patients receive conflicting guidance. Practitioners don’t have a framework to follow.

This is why I’ve dedicated my work to building evidence-informed frameworks like the IMM — because it is absolutely essential that we have help on the ground. My new book - The Integral Movement Method for Hypermobility - offers the first evidence based method which I really hope can be a starting point to formulate guidelines.

Huge thanks to for hosting this book launch event and sharing this vital information. Thank you to everyone who came.

PS we know the books have SOLD OUT (thank you - that’s just awesome). We are getting more in soon.

Do your symptoms feel different every day?

One day you feel almost okay, the next day everything hurts, your joints feel loose, you’re exhausted, dizzy, overwhelmed and you can’t figure out why 😯.

Your fluctuations have a physiological explanation.

Hypermobility means your connective tissue behaves differently day to day. Our collagen is influenced by so many factors we don’t even realise:

• hormones
• stress and nervous system load
• sleep quality
• temperature changes
• how much sensory input you’ve handled
• inflammation
• hydration and blood volume
• micro-instability in your joints
• proprioception and coordination demands

When your connective tissue changes, your stability changes. And when your stability changes, your pain and fatigue and balance and energy change too.

This isn’t inconsistency.
This isn’t unreliability.
This isn’t you being unpredictable.

This is Director the nature of sensitivity with conditions like EDS & HSD.

Can you relate to this experience?

07/12/2025

Pain is never caused by one thing and it’s certainly not caused simply because you’re “inactive.”

That narrative harms so many hypermobile people.

Movement is important. As you know, I advocate for movement. But it has to be the right kind.

The right kind of movement: stabilising, nervous system regulated, supported, paced. One that builds safety. Not one that makes us feel bad for not doing our exercises.

Pain is influenced by:
• connective tissue behaviour
• proprioception
• load tolerance
• the autonomic nervous system
• sensory overwhelm
• emotional stress
• safety signals in the brain

It’s complex. It rarely can be pinned down to one thing unless it’s an acute trauma.

Your body isn’t the problem. The advice has been. The intensity message over consistency. The push through pain as opposed to listen to what you really need.

It’s time for a narrative change in EDS & HSD care.

As 2025 is coming to a close soon, I wanted to offer hope to our community. I know how hard & challenging these conditions can be. It can feel like we are not seen or heard.

So this year I focused on one thing:
Turning lived experience + evidence into real-life help.

🦓 First Research paper into the Integral Movement Method published & presented at the scientific symposium in Canada. Further self-funded research is underway with colleagues at University of Illinois & Cardiff University.

🦓 Graduated in my masters degree in pain management. My dissertation examined the causes of pain related disability in hEDS & HSD.

🦓 A new .zebra.club app to offer practical help at home for the community

🦓 The new book - just launched The Integral Movement Method for hypermobility management by & endorsed by doctors globally.

🦓 Taught two fully subscribed IMM courses with .danlos to get more therapists trained & available to help more people.

All created to bring hope and progress to our community, so you have tools you can actually use on the ground, not just theory on a page.

Yes we need research on genetics & biomarkers but these are long term outcomes. We also need help today and everyday to manage our conditions. I really hope my work can contribute to bringing solutions and management that we need.

Thank you for being the heart of this work.🦓🖤

Yes, you can be bendy and feel stiff. It’s not a contradiction. It’s hypermobility. And yet so many people still don’t understand this aspect.

People often assume hypermobility means you’re always loose and floppy. But many of us feel locked up, tight, and restricted.

That ‘tightness’ is often the body trying to protect unstable joints. It’s what I’ve termed false stability. It is not a true muscle shortness that therefore needs stretching.

This means stretching it more may make it worse.

Do you feel tight even though you’re flexible? Let’s talk about what’s really going on. I explain more in this short video. Let me know your experience 🦓💪.

😊Feeling incredibly grateful & proud to share this journey with all of you. Writing The Integral Movement Method for Hypermobility Management has been a long journey but a dream, and seeing your support means the world. In a world where we as a community are still lacking comprehensive support & pathways, I really wanted to write this book to contribute in some way.

I’d like to thank some of the people who have endorsed this book - Dr Linda Bluestein, Lorna Ryan & Dr Dacre Knight. There are more in the book too. Thank you all.

Thank you for inspiring every page of this book. If you’ve already started reading, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments or through a DM! Thank you for already sharing your stories with us,

We are all working on this together to build a better future for hypermobility care and management.

You asked, we delivered The Zebra Club.

22/11/2025

Research has shown that people with EDS & HSD often give up on exercising for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons was being given inappropriate exercises.

Can you relate to this? Has exercise made you feel worse? Or pushed you too soon?

In the brand new app, we’ve introduced three levels of foundational exercises to meet you where you are today. We guide and help you choose what level is most appropriate.

That way, we can get you off to the best start in your movement journey 🦓💪. Everyone is different and there is not a one size fits all solution.

Let us help you get started the right way. Free trial available for all.
