Embracing the Bendy Spectrum: Finding Balance To Your Hypermobility

21st February 2024

Navigating the Hypermobile Spectrum with Balanced Bodies Injury Rehabilitation

Do you have a knack for bending your body into seemingly impossible positions? Can you twist and contort in ways that leave others amazed? Do you have heightened anxiety and stomach issues? While it might seem like a fun party trick, hypermobility is a name to describe a spectrum of connective tissue disorder that ranges from mild to severe and affects many individuals worldwide.

In the UK, the journey to a hypermobility diagnosis can be a long and challenging one. Many people go undiagnosed for years (if ever), unaware that their flexibility is a sign of an underlying condition.

Personalised Care at Balanced Bodies

But fear not! Balanced Bodies Injury Rehabilitation is here to shed light on the hypermobile spectrum and help individuals navigate their way back to a pain-free, fully active life.

Hypermobility isn’t just about being able to touch your toes without bending your knees (although that’s certainly impressive!). It’s a complex condition that varies in severity from person to person. Some individuals may experience joint pain, stiffness, and a higher risk of injury. Others have very stretchy skin. Others still may have no symptoms at all but just a history of injuries that just don’t quite sense.

Holistic Approach to Treatment

At Balanced Bodies Injury Rehabilitation, we understand that hypermobility is more than just a party trick – it’s a condition that requires specialised care and attention. We work regularly with individuals on the hypermobile spectrum (as well as others who are as stiff as the proverbial board), providing personalised treatment plans to address their unique needs.

Whether you’re struggling with joint pain or simply want to learn how to safely navigate your body, we’re here to help. It might be that you don’t even feel stretchy at all. It’s a common symptom that our hypermobile clients feel very stiff and un-bendy. In fact there are many people who it doesn’t even occur to them that they might be on the hypermobile spectrum in the first place. Our holistic approach focuses on strengthening muscles, improving joint stability, and promoting overall wellness to ensure that you can live your best life, free from pain and limitations.
