🔔Final spaces remaining! If you are a licensed physical therapist (PT)/physiotherapist, register today for this incredible course starting January 27, 2025.⁠
⁠
The EDS ECHO Finding Functional Foundations (FFF)™ course approach uses biofeedback and specific cuing methods, to retrain the brain allowing hypermobile patients to:⁠
⁠
🟢Improve faulty proprioception⁠
🟢Strengthen deep stabilizers⁠
🟢Learn proper physical alignment, and; a⁠
🟢Apply those skills to functional movement. ⁠
⁠
This leads to decreased pain and neurological symptoms, and improved function.⁠
⁠
The course is taught by Susan Chalela, PT, who has 27 years of PT practice experience, much of that working with hypermobile patients. Susan’s clinical practice focuses primarily on cervical instability; however, her approach addresses everything below the cervical spine because a stable foundation is essential for a stable cervical spine. ⁠
⁠
Susan’s approach is respected worldwide for its effectiveness in patients with hypermobility, especially for those with cervical instability. Prof. Leslie Russek, PT, PhD, is assisting Susan in running the program.⁠

“And one word stared back at me from the emails and summary notes in the patient portal. I stared right back. If there was a word that made me feel unstable, it was the word stable.

'Stable' for me, in everyday language, had meant things were steady, safe, secure and calm. For the doctor, who studied biological changes, it signified no change in size or number of lesions. This meant that tissue damage had not increased – Even if the already damaged parts of my brain set off havoc in my body.

Navigating the language of a chronic illness such as MS will forever feel like experiencing unpredictable and low magnitude tremors that shake the ground beneath me, so that moving about in this world is unstable.”

Vilmarie, co-lead of Team Walkin’ with Swagger at Walk MS, shares her perspective on the word “stable” and what it truly means to those living with MS. Read more here: https://ntlms.org/3yVTgxR
