Retreat Lectures: Training With Hypermobility (2h)

This lecture will cover what hypermobility, how to train contortion with hypermobility, and best practices for optimal stability.

• What hypermobility is and is not (hint: it is *not* just flexibility. Hypermobile people can be stiff, too)
• Types of flexibility (shape of joints, collagen-based, acquired hypermobility, neuromuscular connection)
• How it affects the entire body and brain (your entire nervous system)
• How to train with hypermobility + common hypermobile issues
• Why contortion? What considerations do we need to consider?
• Common issues: neck, shoulders, hips, lower back, lower core (pelvic floor, transverse abs, etc), smaller joints (ankles, fingers, wrists, elbows)
