  • Movement for Hypermobility

    Movement for Hypermobility
    Jun 17 2025
    Mobility is a popular topic in fitness at the moment but what happens when a person has too much mobility? Hypermobility spectrum disorder and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or EDS are connective tissue disorders where the person’s joints are looser than they should be. This creates joint instability that can lead to pain, frequent sprains and strains or joint dislocations. The goal of movement training for these clients focuses on stability, increasing body awareness and developing postural endurance to train the muscles to support the joints. If you or your clients have hypermobility, this episode will provide guidelines for successfully managing the condition.

  • Patience! Working with Complex Cases

    Patience! Working with Complex Cases
    Jun 10 2025
    If you work with clients with complex conditions including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or long covid, you know progress can be slow and erratic. In this episode Brian presents a case study focusing on a client with multiple conditions and we discuss how to create trust, enhance the client’s mind/body connection and stay focused on the client. If you have clients where a straightforward program of mobility, strength and endurance is not working, check this session out for advice on accessing the parasympathetic nervous system to help complex clients make progress.
