Join us for a comprehensive workshop to understand the effects of hypermobility in the aerial community. During this session, we'll delve into the intricacies of hypermobility, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, and the various types recognized within medical literature. We'll also explore common comorbidities associated with hypermobility and provide insights into recognizing their impacts, empowering participants to modify their routines based on daily physical feedback.

We'll address considerations specific to the hypermobile population when engaging in both aerobic and strength training exercises, ensuring a holistic approach to aerial fitness as well as general well-being. By the workshop's conclusion, attendees will be equipped to identify signs of hypermobility, comprehend its systemic effects on the body, and adapt their movement programs accordingly.
