Takeaways
Jill Miller's book 'Body by Breath' is a comprehensive guide to physical and emotional resilience.
Bendy bodies should care about fascia because it is the organizing tissue of the entire body and affects mobility and stability.
Self-mobilization and self-myofascial release are important for bendy bodies to address tension and enhance proprioception.
The five P's of the parasympathetic nervous system (perspective, place, position, pace of breath, and palpation) can help induce relaxation and enhance body awareness.
The low back decompression exercise using therapy balls can provide relief and improve proprioception for bendy bodies. Improving core strength and breathing is essential for hypermobile bodies.
Understanding zone one, zone two, and zone three breathing can help manage pain, movement, and emotional states.
Self-fascial treatments, such as deep gut and rib massage, can improve breathing and alleviate hypertonicity.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
Community support and engagement are crucial for managing hypermobility.
High-intensity interval training can improve aerobic capacity and overall well-being for hypermobile individuals. It is highly recommended to have individual guidance for this.
