Recorded live on Tuesdays at 8pm (UK time) on the Sports Therapy Association Facebook Page and also streamed live to YouTube, host Matt Phillips (creator of Runchatlive) brings guests from the Sports Therapy industry to answer YOUR questions and discuss topics chosen by YOU. As soft tissue therapists, how comfortable are you working with hypermobile individuals, be it within the athletic or non-athletic population? Is it just a case of handing out more strength work and being careful with stretches? In reality, Hypermobility is far from a straight forward syndrome, and it can often for example take an average of ten years for a diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. In Ep.41 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast we are delighted to bring you Bonnie Southgate of pilatestherapy.co.uk, Sports Therapist, Pilates Teacher and Teacher Trainer. As a former professional ballerina in the USA and with the Royal Ballet in the UK, Bonnie has a fantastically instinctive understanding of how the body moves and superb knowledge on the subject of Hypermobility. In this hour of live chat, Bonnie takes us through the difference between hypermobility and hypermobility syndrome, how to recognise it, and screen for it, as well as looking at the causes and most importantly how to deal with it. It's a truly inspirational hour which highlights in particular how much WE can be doing as soft tissue therapists to help our patients and clients see the right person at the right time, which in many cases can make a huge impact on the quality of that person's life.
