thank you!!!

So helpful!!

I have the same problem moving the ring finger on both hands.

I don't have access to a chair like this, I usually just have to fit wherever sitting can happen at all. I can sit flat on the ground, but do not have a special specific chair with the specific height like this :-P

Will this help me if my hip flexors feel really loose? I don’t know if I have hyper mobility confirmed but I’ve always wondered

@JeannieDiBon, does the app address posture in any way? I was recently diagnosed with EDS and I'm discovering that the way I sit and stand comfortable actually has me in a constant state of hyperextending, which creates more pain overall. (Standing I'm hyperextending my knees and ankles, sitting it's my hips, knees and neck/shoulders.) I cannot find a comfortable position to sit or stand. I think this is where I really have to start - are there any resources on the app that would help with this?

My arm constantly moves back and forth. Also noticed a pressure on the right side near the middle my neck tgats making my head turn

Thank you, I will be checking out your other videos. I was a competitive gymnast in my youth that had the worst flexibility out of everyone and couldn’t even get close to doing the splits. I’m late thirties now and trying to figure out why I have had so much pain and restriction my whole life.

I have to go very low and slow for the ankle ball stabilizer you showed..want to just pop up but am listening to my body as sprained the left twice and the right once last fall..yes it was fun🌷

What if you're the opposite of this and unstable everywhere in the lumbar I wake up feeling unstable not stiff

For me it's always quite the opposite because my father was very strict with Putting the shoulders backwards so that I'm always hyperextending backwards and by now it's very hard for me to understand how to put them where they should be

I've always been told I shouldn't run because of my EDS, but I absolutely love it. would knee braces for example be suitable for that?

just found your account and i've been watching a ton of videos these are so helpful! 😭 i finally feel understood OMG

Thanks so much, Jeannie! Explains why the pain always got worse after foam rolling, even though multiple Osteopaths, Chiropractors and PTs recommended it to me 🙈🙈 I discovered that for me, strengthening and NOT stretching or foam rolling the problematic areas is the key for minimizing pain and stabilizing instable joints

Great class, and yes, both my ring fingers don't move far

So how are you meant to deal with the tightness? Last year I had to go through physical therapy to release the tightness in my tibialis muscles in both legs since there were so many muscle knots and the muscles were in pain all the time and so fatigued. My physical therapist advised me to use a fascia roller after workouts to help prevent tightness but I don't see much progress with my hypermobility journey and I'm wondering if this is why.

Thank you so much❤❤❤

Ring finger is difficult and won't lift as far as other digits. I'm right handed and right hand ring finger is very difficult. Left hand not quite as difficult.

Good explanation as to why, but uh, where is the solution?

Thank you Jeannie for your videos. I love it! Both of my ring fingers are not moving.

Thank you for this! I talked to my pcp about getting a referral to get testing for EDS and she said these exact words and i was speechless. Like even if there was nothing at all that could be done, i would LOVE to know what’s causing all of my issues. That’s like saying someone with autism doesn’t need to know they have it bc it’s not something that can be cured like no??? It still helps a ton to know what the issue is and where it’s coming from.

Love the 10 minute class idea. This will be great at work when i feel like i don't have time to get away from my desk.

I am able to move the ring finger fairly well, but it does require a fair amount of concentration. Thanks for these gentle movements!

This is so great. Thanks for making this Jeannie! I'm the same on the ring fingers! I've always had trouble moving them on their own. I really enjoyed this and look forward to the next one!

No not just you I can’t do ring finger either without the little finger joining in.

Wonderful stuff as always - thank you for sharing! And yes - ring finger is the weakest finger because it does not have independent ligaments, and depends on shared ligaments with the middle man and pinkie fingers. 😊

Just diagnosed with hypertonic pelvic floor, affecting rectum, painful pelvis, vagina etc taken years and years to get this diagnosis and it all makes sense now. I am relieved to find your EDS video explaining breathing, pain relief and solutions to improve this condition. The Gynaecologist mentioned I was not carrying out a high enough pelvic floor lift, is this something that will improve whilst practicing this particular programme you have kindly created?

Wonderful thankyou. Just what I needed. ❤xx

Thank you for this I don't have a diagnosis or anything but laid down from computer and went in a search because a Facebook thing. Got me thinking. I've been off balance esp with gout toe recently it's all off from the feet. You talking with the facts on tensions and soft working is great on my sedentary life right now.

Hi Jeannie, as someone who has hyper mobility at the bear minimum in their knees and an active 21 year old male(weightlifting 3-5s a week calorie deficit majority of the year), how do I deal with their full body tightness? It’s really starting to bug me because I feel like every day it gets worse and worse, not painful but annoying. It is also making it hard to gauge my physique as my whole posture is forward. Great videos.

This was so helpful, thank you ❤

This was glorious, thank you Jeannie 🩷

Good morning, Ms. Di Bon, and thank you for your efforts to share your knowledge regarding hypermobility. I'm a bit late to the party as I see this video was done 2 years ago, but good information survived the ice age, so here I am. May I ask what is the best way to share this information with the pediatric population (12 and under) who may not yet have that sense of proprioception or interoception to 'feel' where they are in space and detect good alignment of the joints from not-so-good alignment? Thanks!!

Thank you so much!!!!

This is great. It never felt right to just pull the head back

My doc has given me the option of seeing a rheumatologist to get a possible diagnosis of HSD and I came here because I’m not sure whether there’s any point. Peoples’ experiences in the comments are kinda freaking me out though.

So true, my doc says treat the symptoms by support while getting answers and organizing your medical care team. Then all the details help. It's hard finding a primary to help.

My knees feel amazing now!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this videoo

I’m going to try this visualization. My Pilates instructor is constantly reminding me to keep my knees soft and also to energize my feet. It’s soooo hard to retrain myself!

Hi Jeannie! What do you recommend for serratus anterior pain/weakness? This has always been the most painful muscle for me and I feel has led to a lot of scapular instability and neck pain. I believe it may also be do to my breathing issues with dysautonomia.

this changed my life for real! im in such an isolated area and none of my doctors can help w muscle+hypermobilty issues. im hoping to get in Cleveland clinic neuromuscular center, but ill only be there for a day to figure out how to help me TToTT ive just been learning about how to treat my body from ur videos bc no one can treat my constantly tight muscles

Thankyou very much for your videos which are extremely helpful ! I am keen to book an appointment to see you in person. However the earliest availability in the system is Jan 2025 !

Shift weight behind knee

That’s exactly how I stand!!! I have been trying so hard to correct this bit have not found a method that works, I just end up so exhausted. I’ll have to give this a try!

So. I absolutely, positively canNOT stand up straight without moving. Will not ever happen. I sway a little as I try to find my balance as one joint or another randomly decides that it doesn't want to play well with the others. Until it remembers that we all play together or we all tumble to the ground (and then the next one decides, yeah, but I! don't want to play today.) Before I accepted this about myself, I had to go through a number of events where all the kids are made to stand still for some amount of time: kindergarten graduation, various class presentations, choral events, etc. Some adult in authority would stress that we all had to stand as perfectly still and straight as possible during this particular moment, and so little me would think: "Right. Can't do that normally. What can I do to make my legs stay still? Aha! I'll lock my knees! Then I can't sway!" No, but I can faint & tumble to the ground anyway..... (It didn't help that most of these events were held at the end of the school year/beginning of summer. In Mississippi, USA. Where our four seasons are Ridiculously-Warm; Oh-dear-it's-HOT; I'm-pretty-sure-hell-is-cooler-than-this, with roughly 2 weeks in February of: WTF? COLD? Wait, how do we drive in ice/snow?)

Very interesting, i never knew this before 😊

Oh my god standing straight hurts so bad. And I'm 20 !😂

I have a question. I'm not able to stand straight for long because it hurts and it's exhausting, so I always put weight on one hip and switch after a few minutes. Is this a thing when you are hyper mobile or should I keep searching for other reasons. Because my Doctor only gave me insoles and I feel like that's not helping me at all. A lot of Love ❤ thank you so much for your work!

Does sitting down worsen hypertonic pelvic floor?

Will this also strengthen the ankles? Thanks!
