Mpho Matseka's video: Safe Exercises for Childre with Ehlers Danlos syndrome

This is great fun and fantastic for proprioception and control. It is quite common to ‘hang’ off our hip joints in standing, causing hyperextension of the knees and the feet to be inactive in supporting the body. Children can soon make this a habit and we miss the chance to build strong, supportive feet and legs. In the studio, I would use the Reformer machine to teach this but at home, this is a great replacement. You just need a partner and a ball. The aim is to meet each other’s force to move the ball back and forth. If you push too hard, the control will be lost and you could hyperextend the knees, drop the hips and arch the low back. This movement requires core control as well as limb control. The feet receive plenty of essential feedback too. Exercise can be fun 😀.
