The exercise program is only for persons with less severe forms of Hypermobility (those who are still physically active) & who have not advanced to Fibromyalgia/ wasting disorders (who should begin an exercise only in warm water & until they are ready for walking on land).
My theory how persons with Fibromyalgia, wasting diseases & severe fatigue should exercise is that they should start with very gentle activities whereat gravity is negated & then through gradations of activities whereby exposure to gravity is gradually increased.
The first phase of exercise for persons with Fibromyalgia & wasting diseases should be similar to what was done with polio in the 1900’s: Warm water relaxes spastic muscles & enables joint range of motion exercises with gravity relatively negated.
During warm water physical therapy, efforts include specific exercises to strengthen muscles supporting a body tower able to stand on land; the goal. Trapezium, Serratus ant., Rhomboids, Rectus abd., Transversus, para-lumbars, Glutes, & all leg muscles must be strengthened.
Once standing on land has been achieved, then moving on land is the next goal. Moving would include crawling & walking. During this phase, people might need extra support of a sacroiliac joint belt &/or perhaps even knee supporters in the beginning. Walking sticks might help.
Seems like very drastic measures for a very unproven theory.. \U0001f928 Not to mention a lot of this advice would be unsafe or lead to further issues for those with #EhlersDanlos or Hypermobility https://t.co/s88MHnnrRx
