I’ve never been a fearful mover. Clumsy, sure. Slow to build a new skill, definitely. But fearful? No. I’ve always been someone who’d give something a crack regardless of the consequences.
A few years ago I was deep into building my pull ups. I’d found a position that worked for my body and I was getting stronger in it, week on week. Then in a class, a trainer I didn’t know well saw what I was doing and wanted me to change my shape mid-negative. I had a gut feeling to stick with what I knew. But they were the trainer, so I changed my shape.
My shoulder immediately subluxed. Two years later, I’m only just starting to feel good about training pull ups again.
I think about that moment a lot now. Not because I was scared of the movement, but because I overrode the one signal that actually knew what my body needed. That’s the part the research on hypermobility and proprioception gets at.
Joint hypermobility can mean the signals from your joints, about position, load and stability, are less precise to begin with. When you add an external voice telling you to move differently on top of that, it gets even harder to know which signal to trust.
This is exactly why the program I’ve built asks what you’re working with, every session, rather than handing you a fixed shape to fit into. Your body’s feedback comes first. It has to.
