Help! I’m Hypermobile
How to Deal With Being a Patient
Although I’m a healthcare professional, I’m also someone who has a LOT of experience with being a patient. The reality of being hypermobile is that you’re body isn’t the norm. And because of that, you’re deailng with systems and healthcare providers who often aren’t aware at best (and who behave in ways that are harmful at worst) when it comes to working with hypermobile patients. Join me as I give you all of the information-armour I can to navigate systems and advocate for yourself. Because you and your health matter!
How to Optimise Your Hypermobile Life

I’m Alex, your Hypermobility Specialist Osteopath
hey there!
I’m a UK registered osteopath who specialises in working with hypermobile patients who have complex, chronic, and seemingly ‘treatment-resistant’ injuries. My years of professional experience (as well as my lifetime of personal experience of being hypermobile!) have given me a wealth of knowledge that I use to craft bespoke, scientifically-informed, truly patient-centred treatment plans for hypermobile patients whether they’re dealing with 1 injury or 10! I take pride in offering hypermobile patients healthcare support that addresses and works with their uniquely hypermobile bodies.
Connective tissue is everywhere, and this is why the effects of hypermobility can be so widespread.. Everything from your gut to your eyes to your skin to your ability to tolerate hot/cold temperatures can be affected. Although this makes it much harder for people with HSD/hEDS and other connective tissue disorders to find successful treatment strategies, what it means is that if the right strategy is found there are so many opportunities for successful treatment of symptoms. Looking for bright spots is what I do both in my clinical practice and in my personal life, and it’s this solutions-oriented approach that I love delving into when I’m recording Help! I’m Hypermobile.
My superpower is taking complex scientific concepts that affect literally every aspect of your hypermobile life and explaining them clearly (while keeping it fun and actually relevant. We don’t do boring here!). Because knowledge is power, especially if you’re hypermobile!
