How To Prevent Sitting Pain with Hypermobility | Hypermobility & EDS Exercises with Jeannie Di Bon

A big request for help is how to sit comfortably with hypermobility and how to feel able to breathe when sitting. In this video we look at pelvic alignment which will contribute to a healthy Hypermobile sitting posture and will contribute to healthy breathing patterns.

I am very grateful for my fellow Zebra Philip Quigley, a musician from Leyland in Lancashire UK, who wrote the music for this video and just for this channel. Thank you. I am delighted to have my own theme tune.

Sitting is where I'd say 99% of my problems stem from. I get horrific sore hips, glutes tight hamstrings and my lower back.

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

Hope the videos help.

[@katheriner4494]

Oh my gosh I feel like you are talking directly to me every time! Just reviewed the same standing with my PT. sitting and using the breath really helps! Thank you!

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

Great news!

[@Tadeo-ud7ty]

Tysm! Much needed.

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

No problem!

[@janeharrop7058]

Checked back in with this as u said. What I'm finding is, other than my band of stomach tightness kicking in or my back aching, it's the feel of my breath. Where I've been so focused on deeper belly breaths, I'm probably forcing the breath to go there. I know u said again the breath is not as easy going there when standing, so I maybe need to feel more at ease on expanding my breath in my lungs and feeling that movement outwards there as my lungs are filling and in my back too 🙌 defo food for thought there and something to explore 🤔

Thank you SO Much!!

You're welcome!

Thank you for sharing the video Jeannie. Do you have any advice for sitting, when one side of your pelvis is anterior tilted and the other side posterior tilted? It’s so difficult to get comfortable and know where my pelvis is or should be.

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

I would focus on settling the pelvis, let it be heavy and widen into the seat.

[@natashamartin70]

@@JeannieDiBonHypermobility Thank you very much for the advice.

[@juliemoment3936]

Great thanks. My issue is sliding forward on settee then it pulling on hips and my back. What tips have you for this please. My feet being off the floor when j sitbright back unless i use 2 cushions brhind me. Leather settee with blanket on due to the cold maybe doesnt help.

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

A foot stool can be really helpful.

[@scarpru]

Can you teach me/us how to sit on the floor. I have to do work on the floor and it hurts my back.

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

Sure!

[@inarigitsune]

I've found I have a different problem with sitting. I can settle the pelvis and sit like that for a little bit, no breathing issues, and then feel like my upper back muscles get exhausted. Especially the paraspinal ones, to the point I get spasms in the thoracic area. The only solution so far has been laying flat relatively often to rest them. Do you have any suggestions for this?

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

Yes I see this all the time. It’s because back muscles are weak and fatigue when asked to hold you up. You have to build up gradually.

[@inarigitsune]

@@JeannieDiBonHypermobility Thank you.

[@kshitijtiwari627]

I have an issue while sitting, wherein something in my hip moves "forward" under the pelvis, after which my lower back gets locked in a bent posture. The only workaround for this is for me to force that "thing" in my hips backwards and then I'm able to sit straight, but within no time the hips "move forward" and I am once again locked in that bent posture. Any tips on this ?

[@JeannieDiBonHypermobility]

Very hard to give personal guidance without knowing the full history.

[@Morgan-jn2nt]

Thank you so much!!
