Hi, 👋 Glad our paths have crossed! Pinning this to my page for those who want to get to know me better and learn more about how I help people move and feel better. 💪

I’ve been using the same running app since the end of 2010. It was interesting to look at how my health and pain lined up with my years of running (and not running). I’ve been out of chronic pain for many months now, but what a journey it has been and oh the things I have learned. 🥴

I posted about this in my stories last week and I received many responses asking me about what moved this client from months of incessant high levels of knee pain to being mostly pain-free in just a few sessions.

What I shared above is just one person’s experience. Some people get out of chronic pain cycles faster and some slower. (Read: I’m not providing this as an exercise prescription for you)

One of the biggest things that helps my clients heal when other therapies have not is the nervous system work they do as they learn better movement control.

Ironically, the deadlines for improvement are a big topic I tell clients they need to release to heal but I think seeing these stories can be helpful for those struggling with pain.

Let me know if you found this post helpful or if you have any questions in the comments!

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!

Mind-body practices combine mental focus, breath work, and body movements to help regulate the nervous system and bring our bodies back into homeostasis.

If you’ve tried physical therapy and you still have chronic or recurring symptoms, these practices may be your missing link to success.

What do you think? Yay or nay?

The more I learn, the more I realize the nervous system controls everything.

Don’t believe me? Do your own experiment. If you have any of these conditions, think about the emotions you are experiencing next time you have a flare up.

New blog post. Link in stories.

10/03/2023

The countdown is on. Please reach out to me as soon as possible if you need to come in and see me before I go out on maternity leave. I have a couple blocks of time still open.

Thank you to all for your support during this big life transition! I look forward to being back at the office in 2024!
