The Integral Movement Method for Hypermobility Management

My third book was three years in the making. It brings together everything I have learned through my personal journey, my MSc in pain management, my research and my clinical work with thousands of people living with hypermobility, EDS and chronic pain.

It is a book for practitioners and healthcare professionals and for patients who want to explore safe hypermobile movement strategies for themselves.

If you are seeking a kinder, science-backed, whole body approach to hypermobility, this is for you. You can pre-order now for November delivery.

 Verified  An informative and helpful guide for those with hypermobility and eds
This book is a breath of fresh air for anyone suffering from hypermobility or eds. I have been scared to embark on exercise for so long and found that so many professionals do not understand how to help me move without triggering pain. Jeannie explains her methods in simple terms and uses safe and gentle techniques to strengthen and stabilize the body. She understands our symptoms as she eds herself and her knowledge of anatomy and hypermobility is extensive. After finishing the book I have gone on to sign up to the zebra club - her online exercising platform and this has really helped me to take the principles of the book one step further and to incorporate them into my life. Thank you Jeannie.

 Verified  An inspirational, insightful and effective movement method for the hypermobile community......
As a client of Jeannie’s, I can thoroughly recommend this book and Jeannie’s insightful approach to safe and effective movement for the hypermobile community. In a short space of time, with Jeannie’s assistance, I managed to avoid a second scheduled lumbar surgery for chronic and acute pain and sciatica. I have no doubt that this was in large part due to Jeannie’s expert guidance and tuition.

 Verified  Useful guide for movement teachers to help support their hyper-mobile clients
I’d heard of Jeannie as she, like me, is a Polestar Pilates teacher so I was interested in how her book could help me work with my clients who have hypermobility and EDS. The book is not only a great guide for teachers looking to support their hyper mobile clients but also a great tool for any one with EDS and hypermobility who is looking for a guide to help them move with ease and most importantly without pain.
