The Zone Moving Course is a transformative program designed specifically for individuals with hypermobility and joint instability. Developed through years of hands-on experience and refined methodologies, this course teaches you how to move your body in a way that reduces strain, enhances joint stability, and prevents injury.
What is Zone Moving?
Zone Moving breaks down your body into three distinct zones for every limb:
- Zone 1: The proximal part closest to your body (e.g., shoulder, hip).
- Zone 2: The middle joint (e.g., elbow, knee).
- Zone 3: The distal part furthest from your body (e.g., wrist, ankle).
This framework helps you understand how movement should start from the most stable zone (Zone 1) and flow outward, rather than relying on distal zones (like the wrist or ankle) to initiate movement—a common pattern in hypermobility that often leads to instability, fatigue, and injury.
What You’ll Learn:
- The Science of Movement Zones: Understand the difference between proximal and distal movement and why Zone 1 stability is critical.
- Correct Movement Patterns: Learn how to stabilize each zone effectively to avoid hyperextension and reduce joint strain.
- Cognitive Phases of Learning Movement: Move from conscious practice to automatic, fluid motion.
- Fine vs. Gross Motor Skills: Discover how Zone Moving applies differently to small tasks (e.g., writing) and large tasks (e.g., reaching).
- Injury Prevention Strategies: Develop patterns to prevent common hypermobility injuries like subluxations and dislocations.
Why Zone Moving is a Game-Changer for Hypermobility:
✅ Stability Before Mobility: Build a strong foundation in Zone 1 to ensure safe and stable movement.
✅ Cortical Mapping: Address inaccuracies in your brain’s ‘map’ of your body to improve motor control.
✅ Reduced Fatigue and Pain: Proper movement patterns minimize energy waste and joint irritation.
✅ Real-World Applications: From reaching for a glass to writing at a desk, Zone Moving applies to daily tasks.
✅ Mind-Body Connection: Develop better proprioception and awareness of how your body moves in space.
How the Course is Structured:
- Step-by-Step Video Lessons: Clear, actionable demonstrations that break down each movement concept.
- Real-Life Scenarios: Learn how to apply Zone Moving in common tasks and activities.
- Progressive Learning: Start with foundational exercises and gradually build confidence and control.
- Self-Paced Framework: Move through the material at your own speed, revisiting lessons as needed.
Who Is This Course For?
- Individuals with hypermobility syndromes (e.g., EDS).
- Those experiencing joint instability, frequent subluxations, or dislocations.
- People struggling with fatigue and pain from inefficient movement patterns.
- Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their body’s mechanics for improved daily function.
