Libby shares her personal and professional journey with hypermobility explaining what hypermobility is and the associated symptoms. Libby, Katy and Jeannette discuss the paradox that bendy bodies have large ranges of motion yet tense muscles and how a sedentary lifestyle is even more of a liability for people with hypermobility syndromes. Libby and Katy outline the ABCs of a movement program for bendy bodies that often struggle with proprioception and are easily fatigued. They emphasize the importance of higher load activities performed with very mindful attention to exercise form. They caution that smaller and slower movements are key whatever the exercise modality. \n\nAlso in this episode, Katy has a conversation with Sohail Shariff of Movemate, creator of segmented active standing boards designed to be used while you work. Sohail explains the personal stories behind the product and its design. Katy shares her appreciation of the boards particularly how  these boards foster dynamic movement of the foot and ankle, something missing with traditional balance boards. Sohail and Katy also discuss the board's segmented design; the multiple articulations create a flowing but stable motion which means Katy can move and focus on work at the same time. Finally they discuss the value of the board in the therapeutic space particularly for those with a need for movement that soothes the nervous system. \nEnhanced Show Notes & Full Transcript \nChapters:\n00:04:45 - Dynamic Collective \n00:06:15 - Introducing Libby Hinsley \n00:10:30 - Hypermobility - Definition and Explanation \n00:14:40 - Symptoms \n00:23:35 - Exercise and muscle use in the floppy body \n00:29:30 - A Movement Diet for the bendy body \n00:41:30 - Listener Question brought to you by Peluva \n00:55:35 - Interview with Sohail Shariff of Movemate \n...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/U5WxhJlsGPWey1xfDiO0g7h2Z2IvcHpraZq7vVUBMGg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4MjA1LzE2NDQz/NDkzMjctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
