Podcasts about Hypermobility

MCAS. POTS. Hypermobility. GI symptoms that don't quite fit the usual boxes.   On this episode of The Gut Show, Dr. Alexis Cutchins joins us to unpack what cardiology has to do with GI—and why these systems are far more connected than most people realize.   We dive into the emerging overlap between cardiology, gastroenterology, and immune-driven conditions, exploring why these patterns so often show up together, what red flags clinicians should be watching for, and why GI symptoms may actually start far beyond the gut—especially when dysautonomia, heart palpitations, dizziness, and persistent fatigue are part of the picture.   Mentioned in this episode:  MASTER Method Membership FREE IBS Warrior Summit Take the quiz: What's your poop personality? MCAS episode   About our guest:  Dr. Alexis Cutchins is a board-certified Cardiologist and founder of Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine. I began this work after years of caring for patients with POTS, MCAS, hypermobility, and other conditions that many doctors were not prepared to manage. My dedication to this patient community is what led me to build a practice centered on their needs. I wanted to create something different for people who are often under-recognized and left without answers. At Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine, we provide inclusive, high quality support for those living with complex chronic illness.

Gentle note about about medical and surgical references in this episodeIn this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist, I sit down with Bobbi-Jo Corbett, RMT, to talk about something that deserves way more attention in our profession: scar tissue and hypermobility.Bobbi-Jo treats what she calls “like a weirdo” — meaning she questions the default, follows the research, and approaches scar tissue gently, strategically, and systemically. We talk about why scar care isn't an add-on… it's healthcare. We explore the snowball effect of poorly treated scars, the ripple effects on our healthcare system, and how massage therapists can step into a bigger role.Bobbi-Jo has taken the leap to share her experience and unique approach to treatment and educate practitioners on scar tissue treatments with online and in person workshops. We also dive into hypermobility — what it actually looks like in real bodies, how it changes assessment and treatment, and why some of our go-to techniques might not be as supportive as we think.This conversation is about curiosity. It's about evolving your lens. And it's about building a career that keeps you mentally engaged, professionally growing, and excited to show up.

In this conversation, The Climbing Doctor interviews Stephen Kiraly, a physical therapy student, about shoulder hypermobility, particularly in climbers. They discuss what shoulder hypermobility is, how to assess it, its benefits and drawbacks, and rehabilitation strategies. The conversation emphasizes the importance of education for climbers regarding their shoulder health and provides practical tips for managing hypermobility through exercises and movement techniques. Stephen Kiraly's Bio Stephen Kiraly is a third-year Student Physical Therapist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Ever since he finally gave in to his friends bugging him to climb, he has not looked back, and climbing has become a central part of his life. Through climbing, he has had amazing experiences and met even more amazing individuals. Outside of climbing, he enjoys trail running, backpacking, biking, soccer, and basically anything outdoors. He is currently interested in staying in the climbing PT world upon graduation in May 2026. Reach out to Stephen at skiraly8@yahoo.com or on Instagram @zoliclimbs if you'd like to connect about climbing, rehab, or life as a future climbing-focused PT.

Dr. Carol shares a case of Meige (MEIGE) syndrome involving severe facial muscle spasticity and involuntary eye closure triggered by speaking, plus light sensitivity, absent gag reflex (partially restored after chiropractic care), elevated shoulders, and a history of extreme stress and childhood abuse. After identifying likely involvement of cranial nerve VII and structures associated with the pons, vagus, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and medulla, they describe an evolving FSM strategy: running protocols such as concussion and vagus/vagal tone, pons repair, increasing secretions in the pons, and "quieting" the basal ganglia and cerebellum (including noting 40/988 for quieting basal ganglia). They discuss searching neurotransmitters of the pons (acetylcholine, GABA, serotonin, norepinephrine), emphasizing inhibitory support via GABA and serotonin, supplementing with chewable GABA and later ordering 5-HTP, and the concept that using "increase secretions" can require providing precursors/substrate to avoid depletion. They also add emotional frequencies for fear/terror and note functional changes across two days, including relaxed facial muscles and improved blinking and speech-related eye control, then send the patient home with a five-hour nighttime program and a loaner device, with follow-up planned. The conversation also covers patient education, expectations and management with CustomCare devices, tracking outcomes with metrics like range of motion and confidence.

You may be ligament lax; that doesn't mean you're abnormal.” Eric Krohn, D.O., Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon and Codi Grable, PT, CLT, Physical Therapist, both of Orthopedic & Specialty Hospital in Rapid City join interim host Leslie Hopton to inform you about ligament laxity.Also known as hypermobility (and not to be confused with flexibility) ligament laxity can be genetic. Dr. Krohn and Codi outline techniques for testing ligament laxity, such as Beighton score, and signs that you may be suffering from it, including pain and recurrent injuries. Hypermobility can be related to bony deformity and so it's important to know when to seek intervention and what possible treatments exist. Both members of the Hip Preservation Institute, Dr. Krohn and Codi detail how they collaborate to treat hypermobility and how “pehab” — or physical therapy before surgical procedures — helps optimize the results and ease fears a patient may have about recovery.

In Episode 269 of 'The STA Clinician Podcast' (formerly known as The Sports Therapy Association Podcast'), we present Part 2 of our four part series 'Neurodivergence In Healthcare', and in this episode look at the link between Neurodivergence and Hypermobility. Modern studies suggests that individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism, ADHD and Tourette's have a significantly higher prevalence of joint hypermobility compared to the general population. Research by Dr. Jessica Eccles has shown that individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) have an increased risk of autism. Her studies indicate that approximately 31% of autistic individuals exhibit joint hypermobility, and about 39% of people with EDS or HSD meet diagnostic criteria for autism. Additionally, over 20% of mothers with EDS or HSD have autistic children, suggesting a possible shared genetic or biological link. In this episode of the STA Clinician Podcast, the panel of special guests highlight and discuss the importance of recognizing the relationship between joint hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum disorders, and neurodivergence, as well as the need for healthcare clinicians to be aware of these connections. Listen for discussion on diagnostic challenges, communication, individualized treatment strategies, and practical clinic adaptations to better support neurodivergent and hypermobile patients, Learn about current research, patient experiences of invalidation, dosing exercise safely, and simple changes clinicians can make, including intake questions, environment adjustments, and referral pathways, to improve care and reduce harm.

What if your chronic pain, bloating, or fatigue wasn't in your head, but in your blood vessels? In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein sits down with vascular surgeon Dr. Robert Hacker, who's on the front lines of diagnosing and treating complex conditions like MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome), Nutcracker Syndrome, May-Thurner Syndrome, and pelvic venous congestion syndrome, conditions that disproportionately affect women and often go undiagnosed for years. Together, they dive into the frustrating diagnostic delays, the overlap between vascular compression and syndromes like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and EDS  (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), and how new surgical approaches are offering hope. Whether you're navigating chronic pelvic pain, unexplained GI symptoms, or fainting episodes, this conversation breaks down the misunderstood links between your veins, nerves, and connective tissue—and what to do about them. Takeaways: MALS isn't rare, it's rarely diagnosed. Dr. Hacker explains the symptoms and scans to look for when your gut symptoms don't match the tests. Why so many women are misdiagnosed with IBS or anxiety. Pelvic venous congestion, Nutcracker Syndrome, and May-Thurner often mimic more common conditions—but require totally different treatments. The surprising connection between vascular compression and POTS. It's not just nerves, your veins might be compressing in ways that worsen dysautonomia. Surgery isn't a silver bullet, but it can be life-changing. Dr. Hacker shares what makes a good surgical candidate and how his team helps patients navigate workup and recovery. When your connective tissue works against your vascular system. Hypermobility and EDS can make vascular compression more likely and more complicated to treat. Want more Dr. Robert Hacker?

You know I preach the Eclectic Approach and empowering patients with Self-Treatment Strategies... but this one was straight out of the McKenzie Method textbook, almost too good to be true.I recently saw a PT with a five-year history of chronic LBP. He initially felt better with extension (press-ups), but that eventually faded and his flexion became painful and limited.Then, he started noticing something crazy that you parents will understand: every time he'd bend over to put his 5-month-old in or out of the crib (a repeated flexion activity!), his back pain got better. Even more so when he had to lower the crib level!

In this episode, Ben sits down with consultant osteopath, author of The Meaning of Pain, and pioneer in understanding how body, brain, and pain are deeply connected.With over 25 years in clinical practice, Nick has worked with everyone from elite athletes to hedge fund traders, helping them manage pain, stress, and performance under pressure. Together they unpack the link between Hypermobility, ADHD, and anxiety, why pain is often misunderstood, and how the body tells the story the brain can't.From insights on interoception, stress and breathing, to myths about chronic pain and “bendy bodies,” Nick shares practical tools for tuning into your body, managing stress, and finding balance.Join us at hidden20.org/donate._________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen FullerThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by ADHD & autistic entrepreneur Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

MTHFR Stories are interviews with regular people who have MTHFR and are willing to share their health journey to help others. Mary's MTHFR journey centers around pregnancy loss with several second-trimester miscarriages and a stillbirth. She bravely talks about the exhaustion that she has struggled with after such a deep physical toll was taken on her body by the pregnancies, and the emotional journey she has been on. Mary has other issues associated with MTHFR as well including hypermobility and hypothyroidism, both of which contributed to her difficult pregnancies. Mary's journey is a reminder to women to advocate for themselves, not to blindly trust it when your doctor says "it's normal," and to do their own research about recommendations, such as 5 mg of folic acid for women struggling with infertility who also have MTHFR gene mutations. 00:46 - Mary and MTHFR01:46 - Hypermobility and MTHFR02:29 - Bad reactions to methylfolate (migraines)03:15 - More about hypermobility04:14 - Pregnancy loss and infertility with MTHFR06:04 - Hypothyroidism, MTHFR and stillbirth06:53 - Nutritional deficiencies08:05 - MTHFR is linked to all of these - infertility, multiple pregnancy loss, hypermobility, and hypothyroidism.09:04 - Raising awareness for women10:15 - Emotional impact of pregnancy loss11:30 - The societal value of childless women12:25 - problems with 5mg folic acid as a fertility intervention with MTHFRHere is a link to Mary's full-length interview: https://youtu.be/kw3srswszyEThanks so much for watching!

What happens when our bodies and brains are more connected than medicine has led us to believe? In this illuminating conversation, Jane Green MBE, founder and chair of SEDS Connective, unpacks the profound yet often overlooked connection between hypermobility and neurodivergence.After decades of being dismissed as "dim and a hypochondriac," Jane discovered that her physical symptoms and neurodevelopmental differences weren't separate issues but deeply interconnected aspects of her experience. This realization led her to establish SEDS Connective in 2018, now a global charity bringing together conditions that have traditionally been treated in isolation. "For centuries we haven't had a diagnosis," Jane explains, highlighting how the fragmentation of healthcare has left countless people feeling invalidated and misunderstood.The conversation reveals how common it is for people with autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, and other neurodivergent conditions to also experience hypermobility, chronic pain, gastrointestinal issues, and fatigue. Yet medical systems continue to treat these as unrelated conditions, sending patients to different specialists who rarely communicate with each other. This siloed approach not only fails patients but costs healthcare systems billions in unnecessary treatments and appointments.Jane's community-led approach at SEDS Connective brings together people with lived experience, medical professionals, and researchers to advocate for more holistic understanding and treatment. Though she acknowledges facing significant resistance – "I feel daggers going into me" – from some in the medical establishment who resist connecting physical and neurodevelopmental conditions, progress is being made through research, conferences, and persistent advocacy.Discover how this groundbreaking work is validating experiences long dismissed as imaginary and learn how you can connect with SEDS Connective's resources if you've experienced these interconnected conditions. Whether you're struggling with unexplained symptoms or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a new framework for understanding the complex relationship between our bodies and brains.Support the showFollow axschat on social media.Bluesky:Antonio https://bsky.app/profile/akwyz.com Debra https://bsky.app/profile/debraruh.bsky.social Neil https://bsky.app/profile/neilmilliken.bsky.social axschat https://bsky.app/profile/axschat.bsky.social LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyzhttps://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruh

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses a critical and misunderstood topic: chiropractic care for children with hypermobility conditions like EDS, Down syndrome, and Chiari malformations. He explains why these children not only can receive chiropractic care safely, but actually need it more than typical children. Dr. Ebel breaks down how hypermobile joints create compensatory fixated segments that become subluxated, requiring specialized mixed-technique approaches.

Move Your DNA Weekends 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesKaty's Virtual Studio - Try it Free for 7 Days!Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram discuss movement for the bendy body with their guest Dr Libby Hinsley, a doctor of physical therapy specializing in the treatment of hypermobility syndromes and chronic pain. 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. Also 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. Books Mentioned:Yoga for Bendy People: Optimizing the Benefits of Yoga for Hypermobility by Libby Hinsley I Know I Should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy Bowman Made Possible by Our Dynamic Collective of Wonderful Sponsors:Smart Playrooms, design and products to keep you and your kids engaged and active at home; Movemate, dynamic active standing boards that invite movement and play into your workday, without disrupting your workflow; Correct Toes, soft silicone toe spacers that can be worn barefoot or in shoes; Peluva Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for higher impact activities; Venn Design, beautiful floor cushions and ball seats that keep you moving at home or at the office and Wildling, minimal footwear for toddlers, kids and adults made from natural materials.  Thoughts/questions email us at podcast@nutritiousmovement.comYour Voice on the Podcast: Read The Credits 

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Danny Shapiro, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and former professional ballroom dancer, to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in modern medicine: the idea that your MRI defines your pain and treatment options.
