The Strong & Bendy course was initially intended for those with joint hypermobility disorders, including hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD).
But, this is also a great series of exercises for those with chronic illnesses with overall weakness and pain who wish to improve their strength and abilities in a gradual manner.
This on-demand course addresses spinal, pelvic, and joint stability, with a gradually progressive exercise framework. Improve your strength so you can decrease spasms, pain, and progress into your desired activity with improved confidence!
What you get:
*Over 50 on-demand videos with progressive exercises
*Exercises focus first on joint stability, to decrease pain
*Once joint stability has improved, exercises progress to overall strengthening
*Videos follow a generally progressive format for each major body part, but you do not need to complete a section before "unlocking" the next section.
*Foundational Exercises are listed near the beginning, and are the best exercises to come back to on a high pain or low energy day
*Exercises generally do not require a lot of position changes, and friendly to those with dysautonomia like POTS
*Troubleshooting exercises for form and technique that may feel uncomfortable or painful
*Bonus videos for addressing high pain days, such as low back pain, and yoga flows

The Hip Pain Mini Course is for those who regularly feel a "pinching" sensation in their hip(s), or for those who may have clicking, popping, or thunking in their hip joints. This course takes you through pain reduction strategies, corrective exercises for addressing muscular imbalances, and of course, progressive exercises for improving pelvic and hip strength to prevent future injuries and pain. These are all of my go-to's for my own hips, which are my main problem joints with activities.
**Note: This course is not a substitute for specific and individualized physical therapy. This course works well when symptoms have been present for longer than one month, and works well for most people, but not necessarily all cases of hip impingement.
