@Jamie Franchini this is a very common pattern in sensitive nervous systems! Dr Linnea explains the cycle very well. The key is building more capacity in your system. Also I try to think about what I want to or am going to do, then scale it back by about 10% so I don’t burn through my buffer! It’s not always possible of course.

Thanks so much for these Jamie!! I’ve just been through the level one exercises. I’ve not had a diagnosis of Hypermobility, but it has been suggested to me by my strength coach. I do believe I have sacroiliac joint dysfunction which comes and goes, and at times can be quite painful when it’s triggered. Would any of the exercises need any adaptations for sacroiliac joint dysfunction? Could they be useful in a flare up to “reset”? Or should they be avoided at that time? Thank you!

Ooooh! This is super helpful. Thank you. I wasn’t aware of the belt, but I’ll definitely get one. I found the exercises fine. Felt a mild twinge in my hip at times, but that’s because I’m in a flare. I didn’t react to them like I’ve reacted to my strength training! In a flare, the pain kind of moves between low right back where it feels almost jammed up, and can radiate around and over my hip and into my inner thigh. The pain kind of moves around those areas. Definitely feels worse when sitting!
