Transform Your Bicep Curl: Spinal Stability Tips for Hypermobility (VIDEO)

Our brain and bodies are superheros at compensating! They’ll do pretty much anything to get the job done!

With symptomatic joint hypermobility and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a lack of proprioception or awareness of where your body is in space can lead to aches and pains when you attempt to make changes to your movement patterns - for example increasing the load or range of motion with a bicep curl!

Your brain has a map of your body including your joints and if the map is muddy, sometimes the brain moves more joints than is needed - case in point: when your bend your elbow in a bicep curl, your spine also moves! This can lead to overuse, aches, pains and not as much muscle adaptation in the bicep.

Use the brain-based proprioceptive techniques in the video below to help your brain differentiate your spine from your arm and improve your bicep muscles!
