The Integral Movement Method for Hypermobility Management

by Jeannie Di Bon

Overview

Using the Integral Movement Method, this book provides movement practitioners and therapists with essential knowledge for working with clients with hypermobility conditions and connective tissue disorders. This tried-and-tested method has been proven to offer physical and psychological benefits for those with hypermobility conditions and has been adopted by organisations and healthcare providers including within the NHS.

Jeannie Di Bon was diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in 2018 but experienced multi-systemic symptoms since her teenage years. She has been working with Ehlers-Danlos clients since 2011. She has since been on a mission to help others manage the condition through research, study, education and outreach. She brings with her decades of experience running her own clinic and training other therapists. The book also includes photo examples to further support the implementation of the exercises described within.

Editorial Reviews

This excellent book covers the methodology of "integral movement therapy" for hypermobile individuals, most of whom require a different and unique approach to physical rehabilitation therapy due to the nature of the condition. Enhanced by her own lived experience, the author has developed an integrated approach which combines attention to breathing, relaxation, proprioception, stability , balance and posture as well as understanding the importance of fascia. The book is very well structured and informative and I am delighted to recommend it.

Dr Philip Bull FRCP

This dynamic discussion and comprehensive instruction of the IMM offers the reader pivotal guides in understanding and supporting hypermobile patients. Emphasising principles beyond movement modalities alone, this is a must read for all clinicians and individuals wishing to enhance care.

I have integrated these excellent tools for gentle rehabilitation into my practice, and recommend anyone wanting to help EDS patients do the same.
