A The Nuanced Approach to Pain with Hypermobility & Scoliosis with Kate Bacigalupo
Are you constantly being told to fix your posture, but still dealing with chronic pain? Do traditional physical therapy exercises feel ineffective or even make your hypermobile joints feel worse? What if joint instability was only part of the story, and your nervous system was the key to finding pain relief? If so, that's exactly what we get into in this episode where strength and nutrition coach Nikki Naab-Levy chats with Kate Bacigalupo, a physical therapist who specializes in hypermobility and scoliosis and co-founder of the Elements Collective about navigating pain with hypermobility and scoliosis.

The difference between a hypermobile joint and an unstable joint, and why treating hypermobility as solely instability often fails patients. The correlation between hypermobility and scoliosis and what we currently know. Why pain management with scoliosis is more than trying to achieve "perfect" posture. <li dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;
