1 Strengthen Your Core
Your core muscles support your spine and help prevent excessive movement that could lead to pain. A strong core acts like a natural brace for your lower back.
Try incorporating these exercises into your routine:
- Planks (forearm and side planks)
- Dead bugs
- Bird-dogs
- Glute bridges
These exercises improve spinal stability without overstretching already flexible joints, making them ideal for those with hypermobility.
2 Practice Good Posture
Poor posture can overload the spine, leading to discomfort, especially for those with hypermobility. Because flexible joints don’t provide as much passive support, it’s crucial to stay mindful of posture throughout the day.
Here are some posture tips:
When sitting: Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. A lumbar support pillow can help maintain the natural curve of your lower back.
When standing: Keep your weight evenly distributed between both feet and avoid locking your knees.
When using your phone or computer: Keep your screen at eye level to avoid forward head posture (aka “tech neck”).
Making small ergonomic adjustments to your work setup can significantly reduce stress on your spine.
