In 2019 our #HMSAware campaign focused on the challenges of staying active with a hypermobility syndrome, exercising enough to stay strong, without exacerbating flares, fatigue or injuries is a tricky business. As you'll see in Hannah's video, even when you're fully flopped getting a wriggle on will help keep you moving.
We're often asked about very simple, baseline exercises that are manageable, so our Exercise and Rehab Adviser, Catherine put together the following series of videos showing activities almost everyone can manage, even on really bad days (you can even do some of these in bed).

It’s so inspiring to see how you’re making movement accessible, even on tough days! Simple exercises like these can be a game-changer when managing hypermobility. If you’re capturing your journey, I’d recommend giving this article a try. It’s perfect for putting together a quick, personal video to track your progress and share your experience with others, especially on days when you're flopped but still pushing through.
