“Nervous system” gets used a lot, but it can be hard to know what it actually means or where to start.

It isn’t one thing you can point to. It’s the network constantly reading signals from your joints, your organs, your senses, and deciding how safe or unsafe a moment feels. For a body managing EDS/HSD, POTS or MCAS, that system is often doing more work than most, with less certain information to work from.

Fatigue, brain fog, a flare that seems to come from nowhere. These aren’t your body working against you. They’re often your nervous system working hard with the information it has.

You’ve got this 💙✌🏽

I’ve never been a fearful mover. Clumsy, sure. Slow to build a new skill, definitely. But fearful? No. I’ve always been someone who’d give something a crack regardless of the consequences.

A few years ago I was deep into building my pull ups. I’d found a position that worked for my body and I was getting stronger in it, week on week. Then in a class, a trainer I didn’t know well saw what I was doing and wanted me to change my shape mid-negative. I had a gut feeling to stick with what I knew. But they were the trainer, so I changed my shape.

My shoulder immediately subluxed. Two years later, I’m only just starting to feel good about training pull ups again.

I think about that moment a lot now. Not because I was scared of the movement, but because I overrode the one signal that actually knew what my body needed. That’s the part the research on hypermobility and proprioception gets at.

Joint hypermobility can mean the signals from your joints, about position, load and stability, are less precise to begin with. When you add an external voice telling you to move differently on top of that, it gets even harder to know which signal to trust.

This is exactly why the program I’ve built asks what you’re working with, every session, rather than handing you a fixed shape to fit into. Your body’s feedback comes first. It has to.

Your nervous system might be reading movement differently than you’d expect, and there’s real research behind why.

People with joint hypermobility show heightened activity in the amygdala, the brain’s threat-processing centre (Kampoureli et al., 2025, British Journal of Psychiatry). Combined with less precise signals from the joints about position and load, movement can feel unpredictable even when your body is capable of it.

This isn’t a mindset issue. It’s a body reading its own signals differently, and understanding that changes what actually helps.

If this is something your body has been trying to tell you, the EDS/HSD, POTS and MCAS Movement Program goes deeper into how to work with it.

Love to all the people dealing with chronic illness ✌🏽💙

Enrolment is open for the EDS/HSD, POTS and MCAS Movement Program! 🥳

If you’ve been managing EDS/HSD, POTS or MCAS for a while now, you’ll know how much movement can help, and how much it can also go wrong when it’s built for a body that isn’t yours. This program is different. Twelve live online sessions across 16 weeks, built around blocking and range, proprioceptive cueing and pacing that works with what you’re bringing to each session.

Live online, weekly, from wherever you are. Screening before you start, so the program is built around your history from day one. Off and integration weeks scheduled throughout, so rest is part of the plan.

Early bird pricing closes 9 August 2026 💙✌🏽

Most movement spaces treat EDS, POTS and MCAS as separate issues, if they engage with them at all. They’re not separate. Your connective tissue, your autonomic nervous system and your immune system are in constant conversation, and one flare can set off the others.

This program is built around that interconnection. Not three conditions bolted together. One system, understood as one system.

Enrolment opens Monday for the founding intake.
