Hello!
Firstly, thank you for deciding to commit to a better life!
“The Fibro Guy method” has yielded many impressive results since I first created the framework for my own pain. The success can be found in the many press articles, TV coverage, documentaries, and endless stories spanning back years on the Facebook page.
However, as you will find out whilst doing this course, pain is incredibly complex! The framework needs to be conducted 1:1 with either myself or one of my practitioners. This is mainly because the framework needs to be adapted based on the individual and the many Biological, Psychological, and Social factors that are unique to them. This means that putting it all into an online course is almost impossible, as the programme is never the same for two people.
After many years of requests, we have created the “Online Hypermobility Course” which is designed to act as a stand-alone programme to help educate and to allow you to take some “key” components from our framework, so that you can start pushing towards your recovery from pain and dislocating joints at home.
At 24 weeks long, this is an incredibly comprehensive online course is designed specifically for those with Hypermobility.
No two people with hypermobility are ever the same. The course was created with this in mind, so has many different sections within it. Perhaps you are incredibly hypermobile and dislocate all of the time, don’t worry, the course branches off into a mini-course to address these issues. Perhaps you are hypermobile but are also a little bit older, and as such, you are starting to lose function in various limbs, don’t worry, the course branches off for these issues as well. You will be taught how to properly tape joints, how to utilise tactile cues and cortical mapping to address proprioception issues, learn how to use perturbation training, and even try your hand at yoga and guided meditation.
The main course starts at home, with only basic equipment needed and covers joint stability movements and techniques that you won’t find anywhere else!
Once you are feeling strong and stable and your pain as diminished, the course splits in two!
The first split is designed for those who want to get into a commercial gym, fully stabilise those joints, and take their body to the next level of stability. This branch covers a full gym induction, we show you how to use all of the equipment, show you how you need to be training in the gym when you are hypermobile, and more importantly, how to create your own programme so that you can walk into that gym confident, competent, and knowing exactly what you need to be doing.
The second main branch off point is designed for those who are perhaps a little bit shy when it comes to the Gym. If this is you, then the course takes you through our “Hierarchy of Hypermobility Training”, wherein we teach you exactly what you need to be focusing on to maintain your results from the course and how to push yourself without having a relapse. Most importantly though, this part of the course shows you how to become self-sufficient, so that you know exactly what it is you need to be doing with your body.
With a fresh new course interface built into the website, it makes navigating the course and all its components much easier. Included in the course are many educational videos covering everything from Neuro-tags to Autogenic Inhibition. This course covers hypermobile people from the very lax and prone to dislocating, to those with slight subluxations, to those who have only pain. This is by far the most comprehensive online course for hypermobility EVER created!
This course now acts as a completely standalone course designed by hypermobile people who get brilliant results, for hypermobile people that want brilliant results!
We know how scary and daunting something like this can be for people, that is why we are also on hand for you throughout the entire course! All you have to do is give us a call, whenever you need some help, or just to tell us how well you’re doing 🙂
This online programme has been something I have wanted to do for a very long time. However, with working long hours with 1:1 clients and trying to keep on top of admin, I have never had the time to create it. But, as “The Fibro Guy” has expanded over the last few years and my practitioners have taken over the multiple studios, it has meant that I have a lot more time available now. So, for the entirety of this course, I am on hand to help guide you through it, regardless of what you need, so please take advantage of this and keep in touch with me throughout the course.
Please ensure you read everything within the course and watch all videos, as I don’t want you to miss any important information.
Please make sure that you thoroughly understand the content, and if you do not, then please contact me so that I can help.
Knowledge is power, and if you want to get rid of pain, stabilize your joints and get back to enjoying life, then you first need to understand how it all works. You wouldn’t change the brake pads on your car without knowing where they were or what they did, and pain and hypermobility are no different.
This course is heavily educational and we will be covering many different topics from Neurotags and pain to increasing proprioception and debunking common hypermobility myths along the way.
You have my services and my guidance whilst on the course. So, if you have any questions, if you don’t understand something, if you have concerns or need anything at all, then please feel free to contact me!

Many sessions within the course require no equipment. However, some of the belief dismantling sessions will require some weights and as we get to the end of the course, and start to introduce commercial gym machines for those of you who wish to go and join a gym after finishing the course, a gym membership will be required. For those of you that want to continue and do home-based workouts, then you do not require a gym membership. To do the video sessions within the course you will need the below equipment. Please keep in mind that you will not need any equipment for the foundation phase.
I have organized an equipment list along with links below.
1- Resistance band – Which can be found here.
2- 1x Massage ball – Which can be found here.
3- Stability Ball – Which can be found here.
4- Resistance cables with handles – Which can be found here.
5- Floor slider or frisbee- Which can be found here.
6- A selection of light Dumbbells – Which can be found here
7 – 2x Kinesiology Tape – Which can be found here.
8 – Closed-loop bands – Which can be found here.
*You do not need to break the bank with this equipment, the cheapest option will do*
