If you have hypermobility and live with ongoing neck pain, it’s easy to feel confused, frustrated, or even afraid to move.

In this episode, April and Laura unpack why neck pain is so common in people with hypermobility and why it doesn’t mean you’re fragile, broken, or destined for pain.

They discuss how ligament laxity, reduced proprioception, muscle fatigue, posture, and nervous system sensitivity all contribute to neck symptoms, and why common advice like excessive stretching or neck cracking can sometimes make things worse.

This conversation focuses on what actually helps long-term:
 ✔️ building strength and control
 ✔️ improving proprioception
 ✔️ understanding pain as a protective signal, not damage
 ✔️ using a graded, whole-body approach to rehab
 ✔️ recognising red flags and knowing when to seek further assessment

Most importantly, this episode reframes hypermobility from something to fear into something that can be managed — and even become a strength — with the right plan and support.

If you’ve been told to “just be careful” or feel unsure about how to move safely with hypermobility, this episode is for you.
