Overview

Using the Integral Movement Method, this book provides movement practitioners and therapists with essential knowledge for working with clients with hypermobility conditions and connective tissue disorders. This tried-and-tested method has been proven to offer physical and psychological benefits for those with hypermobility conditions and has been adopted by organisations and healthcare providers including within the NHS. Jeannie Di Bon was diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in 2018 but experienced multi-systemic symptoms since her teenage years. She has been working with Ehlers-Danlos clients since 2011. She has since been on a mission to help others manage the condition through research, study, education and outreach. She brings with her decades of experience running her own clinic and training other therapists. The book also includes photo examples to further support the implementation of the exercises described within.
