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€.

Infrared light therapy is a great option for individuals with hypermobility. Much like we need nutrients from food and water, our bodies need light to function optimally. Red Light (660 nanometers) and Near Infrared (850 nanometers) are ideal wavelengths for skin health, reducing wrinkles, improving energy and performance, enhancing recovery, and gaining more mental clarity

You can break up the adhesions from โ€œstickyโ€ fascia (the connective tissue throughout all muscles and attachments to skin). You can help relax those overworked muscles that may spasm from holding you upright all day by using a foam roller and/or a massage ball.
If you use the ball against a wall, youโ€™ll get a more controlled approach, with less pain than rolling your body weight on top of it on the floor. I also recommend using a foam roller with handles so you can deliver the just-right amount of pressure vs. lying on top of it and having to move your body all around, which causes more work against gravity. When you break up fascial restrictions, you can reduce pain and improve your mobility.

People with EDS Struggle with pelvic alignment because their ligaments donโ€™t hold them in alignment passively like people without EDS. It takes a lot of energy to remember to sid up straight on your โ€œsit bones,โ€ and often we slouch and sit on our tailbone. This can result in back pain while sitting. The CanDo Sitting Wedge Active Seat Wobble Cushion is here to help! It tips your pelvis forward, aligning your spine and reducing stress on your postural muscles. Perfect for active sitting and improving core strengthening while in the correct position.
