If everything changes, why would you be any different? The truth is you’re not! And when it comes to being hypermobile, it’s kind of important to realise what changes actually matter. Let’s start this part with a fact! Did you know a banana is around 74% water?
When you first came into the world all those years ago, you came in 1% wetter than a banana. So at around 75% water, you were pretty wet. However, in just 0ne year, you dropped down to about 65% water. By the time you entered adulthood you are around 60% if you are male or 55% if you are female. And by the time you become “officially” elderly, water will make up around half of your body. If one thing is certain in life, it’s that you are slowly drying, see what I did there :-).

I am a Newcastle based Specialist who, over the past 5 years, has developed pain management programmes for those suffering with Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). In 2010 I developed a programme that gave me my life back after an Incident in Afghanistan, left me a chronic pain sufferer. A few years later i found that parts of my own programme were transferable to many of those with invisible illnesses. Through research, constant adaption and years of trial and error. I have developed a pain management routine that can be adapted to each individuals personal needs. Which over the years, has seen many people take their lives back. Although I have helped many people over the years, there is no "cure" for chronic. Although my programmes can help you dramatically lower your pain and give you more of your life back. Until we find a cure you will always have your invisible illness, but much like my self, you can still reduce your pain and raise your standard of living. I still to this day get the Chronic cluster migraines, but having them once every few months has given me my life back, after suffering from them everyday. Lauren, who suffers with Class 3 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Fibromyalgia, went from dislocating multiple times a day and having practically immobile hips, to surfing in Mexico and wearing high heels again. Cheryl lost her life for over 15 years to fibromyalgia and cluster-tic; spending most of her days in bed, riddled with pain. She's now fighting back - boxing, circuit training and spending time with her family out of the house. Linda fell on a tent peg, injuring her coccyx and spent many months unable to walk or sleep properly. Today she is now back at work full time and practically pain free. Angela couldn't walk 100 meters without hip and knee pain caused by her fibromyalgia. Today she is doing shuttle runs in the gym and only suffers from very slight fatigue. Ellie suffered with fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome so badly that it caused her to nearly drop out of University. After working together, she is able to get through each and every single day and is on her way to earning her degree.
