Why teach for hypermobility?

I am hypermobile. I didn't know what this meant until a few years ago. Basically, It means that my joints have too much range of motion. the ligaments and tendons are to stopping them when they should. For some, this is just a couple of joints. For others this is a whole body issue of less organized, less resilient tissue throughout! I believe it is different throughout in my whole body. Unstable joints, especially in my cervical spine. TMJ issues, wonky shoulders, ribs and spine bones that go out of place if I slouch on the couch for just one TV show, pelvic floor issues, and plantar fasciitis. Sleeping is hazardous! My worst neck issues happen while I'm sleeping. I wake up and can't lift my head. Strength training helps, and yoga helps, but my body is just a constant game of whack a mole! It's never ending. I am coming to some acceptance around this, but it's really a bummer. The amount of time I spend just maintaining my body baseline functionality for normal use is A LOT OF TIME. I have to take a lot of down time and rest more than ever before. I can't power through several days on end if the work is physical.
Many people have it way worse, and I want to help them feel better, and also the medical world does not know enough about these disorders, and so the other part of my mission is to help spread good education about HSD, EDS and related issues.
