๐ŸŽฌ A Film That Needs Your Support: I Got Next
If you want to continue spreading awareness for Williams Syndrome, we invite you to support the inspiring film I Got Next.

Itโ€™s a story about:
โœจ friendship
โœจ second chances
โœจ and believing in your dreams

The film follows a girl with Williams Syndrome who dreams of making her local rec basketball team and trains with a former basketball star whoโ€™s rebuilding his life after a tragedy. Their journey is uplifting, hopeful, and empowering.

Through The Independentโ€™s Fiscal Sponsorship Program, this project can receive nonprofit funding meaning your support directly helps bring this important story to life.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Letโ€™s raise awareness together. Letโ€™s help this film get made.

๐Ÿ’› We were so proud to sponsor the FIRST-EVER Atlanta Turkey Trot for Williams Syndrome!

This past weekend was truly special.
The very first Atlanta Turkey Trot for Williams Syndrome brought together over 250 wonderful people, united to raise awareness and celebrate this amazing community.

One of the brightest moments for us was seeing our friend Wells Esdale whom we normally work with in Aquatics join the walk with so much joy and excitement. Moments like these remind us why community matters and why events like this make such a powerful impact.

All parents and therapists interested in healing children with neurological impairment! I have worked with Susan Hastings to learn functional neuromuscular electrical stimulation (FNMES) and she has been working on in her cutting edge lab with neuroscientist Dr Edgerton starting tomorrow although you can watch at your own pace. Come learn these new strategies, requiring no invasive surgery, becoming clinically available as rapidly as possible. Susan will be part of an event called Clinical Advances in Spinal Neuromodulation: A Mini Summit. Itโ€™s a mix of live sessions, recorded talks, and a big closing panel with clinicians, researchers, and even the patient voice represented.

If back squats feel uncomfortable or painful due to pressure on your upper back/neck, youโ€™re not alone. Many people with EDS or hypermobile joints have sensitive skin that can react negatively to direct bar contact.

๐Ÿ’ก A Barbell Squat Pad helps distribute the weight and cushion sensitive areas โ€” making strength training safer and more comfortable.

Train smarter, not harder. And yes, you CAN do squats with hypermobility โ€” we just make it work for your body so you DONโ€™T have to KNOW PAIN to GAIN!

People with EDS and hypermobility may be afraid to lift heavy weights because they are more prone to shoulder subluxation during exercises like the bench press โ€” but there's a way to stay safe and strong ๐Ÿ’ช

Using one or two Foam Gym Trainer Blocks or Yoga Blocks on the chest while benching helps limit the barโ€™s range of motion and protects the shoulder joint from going past a safe angle.

๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ You can also bench press on the floor to naturally reduce shoulder extension.
Control the bar path. Prevent injury. Keep lifting with confidence!

People with EDS can start to shake after holding a Yoga pose or weights for only a short time compared to those without EDS, because their muscles fatigue quickly. Do you want to strength-train safely without risking joint and finger subluxations or the risk of dropping the weight? Lifting straps can help! They provide joint support and proprioceptive feedback during workouts.

Lifting straps for hypermobility - https://a.co/d/1PXakw0

You can also modify squats for EDS so you donโ€™t have to hold the weight in your hands at all! Use a Belt for Weight lifting with a 36" Heavy Duty Steel Chain to suspend a weight from your waist and have the hips support the weight. By standing on a sturdy block with the weight hanging down between the legs, there is no need to hold a barbell or dumbbells, and sensitive and unstable joints of the fingers and wrists can rest from gripping the handles while the hips โ€œcarry the weightโ€.
