GMB: Hypermobility Exercises: Keeping Yourself Injury-Free while Training

The article is appropriately clear that they're not qualified to give advice for people with EDS and other full-on connective tissue conditions, but it's got tips and some interesting exercises for building strength and stability at the point just before your end range of motion.

As always, I pass it on under Bruce Lee rules: take what works for you and discard the rest.

ETA: I'm not hypermobile myself so can't evaluate directly; if you are and this seems obviously off-base, please comment!

Earlier this week, in my own space I wrote a lengthy post about pacing, bracing and exercise with hypermobility-type EDS. This talks (somewhat frustratedly) about the Many Physiotherapists I saw who had no idea what to do with me, followed by a specialist hypermobility clinic who did. Have not had the brain to link sooner, did not have the brain to cross-post, but please go play if you're interested and I'll do my best to engage over there! :-)
