Hello. I'm just diagnosed and SO grateful for your channel! Accessing local services is almost non existent. Please pardon me if you've already addressed this and I haven't yet seen it, but I'm finding even less info in one particular area that is super relevant to me & I'd love to see you do a video for this: post breast cancer/lumpectomy/mastectomy/radiation treatment stretching etc for range of motion and scarring/fibrosis. Even the specialist PT I've been able to see doesn't seem to be able to incorporate things that are effective for this with things that won't aggravate the hEDS. I think what they had me doing might have caused harm or at least not helped me progress and deal with the post treatment side effects. Thank you for allowing me to offer the suggestion. Please don't ever stop doing these videos!
Hi Jeannie, I have a knee that is off track. Do you know how to get a knee to go back to normal or do you just have to wait a long time and see if it goes back on it's own? My knee has been like this since the 19th. My physical therapist said it's not subluxed.
Hi Jeanie, I have a question. I just recently started seeing a physical therapist. She said I have the tightest thighs she's ever seen so she wants me to stretch them out. The thing is though, for years, whenever I sit on my bed with my feet on the bed, it ends up hurting my lower back, and I only feel it once I get up. So I'm not sure what to do about these exersizes. I addressed this with my PT but she didn't really give me an answer, just said do slow stretches. It seems like I would just keep repeatedly hurting my back, trying to do that. What are your thoughts? I recently injured myself, making my low back pain worse, because I picked up an accordion and set it on my lap. big mistake.
Hi Jeannie, as someone who has hyper mobility at the bear minimum in their knees and an active 21 year old male(weightlifting 3-5s a week calorie deficit majority of the year), how do I deal with their full body tightness? It’s really starting to bug me because I feel like every day it gets worse and worse, not painful but annoying. It is also making it hard to gauge my physique as my whole posture is forward. Great videos.

I couldn’t say without seeing you. But definitely see a PT for help.

Take a look at my live class on here called the truth about stretching, that may help.
Every time I bring one of my legs up and hug it, or even if I do leg raises, there is a clunk sound. It’s not painful, but what could it maybe mean?
Best to get a physio to assess it for you. It could be the psoas muscle.

Glad the videos are useful. It’s really hard to give specific advice without seeing or knowing full history.
