Deep dives

Understanding Hypermobility

Hypermobility is characterized by joints that exceed the typical range of motion, and it can manifest in various forms. There are four primary types: peripheral hypermobility, localized hypermobility, historical hypermobility, and generalized joint hypermobility (GJH). GJH can be further categorized into asymptomatic and symptomatic types, with roughly 30% of individuals experiencing no associated issues. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing that while hypermobility is often linked to discomfort and conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), many individuals may have it without experiencing any symptoms.

In this episode, I am joined by Taylor Goldberg to discuss all things hypermobility. This is a diagnosis that I have seen in an increasing number of clients, so I’m excited to have Taylor on and educate more on the topic. We previously discussed hypermobility in the two MCAS episodes with Michelle Shapiro. I’ll link them below!

Taylor is a Chiropractor-turned Virtual Hypermobility Coach who helps people struggling with hypermobility (and related conditions) navigate the newness and unknowns of HSD/hEDS, enabling them to understand their body's unique needs and regain a fulfilling life. In addition to assisting clients with hypermobility, she recently launched a course aimed at helping clinicians better understand how to assist their hypermobile patients. Taylor possesses a unique perspective rooted in her education and personal experiences with hypermobility, which has driven her to initiate changes not only within the hypermobility community but also within the chiropractic field. She recently introduced a mentorship program called 'Clinical Concepts,' where they delve into the drawbacks of one-size-fits-all chiropractic practices and underscore the significance of an evidence-based approach to treatment and self-care.
