Staying physically and emotionally chill is key. Having some quick grounding and breathwork exercises to help you feel steady and calm can help with autonomic dysregulation which fuels POTS symptoms.

Try this exercise to target the area of your brain responsible for autonomic activity:
TURN YOUR HEAD SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT
GROUND YOUR GAZE ON SOMETHING INTERESTING
TAKE 3-4 DEEP BREATHS, HUMMING ON THE EXTENDED EXHALE
TURN YOUR HEAD TO THE LEFT
TAKE 3-4 DEEP BREATHS, HUMMING ON THE EXTENDED EXHALE

REPEAT MOVING YOUR EYES ONLY.

Me back in 2005. Normal shoulders flex to 180°. Mine could go past 240° at the time (my shoulders could go further but they stopped testing them at that point to avoid risk of injury). My hypermobility gave me an athletic advantage, and I thought nothing of my party tricks.

I didn’t think about it until everything started falling apart postpartum and I realized I needed a different type of physical therapy to put myself back together.

I actually only score a 2/9 on the Beighton Scale for Hypermobility (a 5 out of 9 is considered positive for hypermobility). I wouldn’t be considered hypermobile according to this scale - shoulder mobility isn’t even scored - yet I suffer with the myriad of associated conditions and the pain and pattern of motor control issues that come with increased mobility.

Hypermobility is complex. 90% of my patient population is hypermobile and most have no idea. Many wouldn’t fully qualify based off of Beighton scale alone. We need better scales for capturing these people so we can help who are just getting shrugs at best and anxiety meds from the medical community.

May is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS)/
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) Awareness Month!

If you are suspicious or know that you are hypermobile, start here with this week’s blog on how to start thinking about effective approaches that make meaningful and long-term changes.

If this resonates with you and you are local to Charlottesville, VA, we still have a couple spots left in the free hypermobility workshop and movement screen May 24th at Chill Cville. Link in stories.

I’m really looking forward to joining Chill Cville in offering a holistic view on how to manage symptomatic hypermobility. I will be discussing joint protection, pain management, lifestyle optimization, and supportive tools.

The class is free and will also include hypermobility screening and the chance to try out some supportive tools.

will also show you some of the devices and techniques they use to help manage pain, tightness, and inflammation associated with decreased joint stability.

Walk away with real-time tools to manage symptoms, a lifestyle medicine guide to joint health, and resources to maximize your quality of life to keep moving and feeling great!
