Jeannie Di Bon is an advocate for those with hypermobility and a movement therapist located in London. She has hypermobile EDS, POTS, and MCAS. Jeannie struggled most of her life without a diagnosis, she shares how she was filled with relief when she identified her diagnosis at 48 and the possibility for change.

I break down examples of interoceptive and proprioceptive sensations, shedding light on why they are important to tune in to. People with hypermobility innately have less interoception, but fear not. It is a skill that I help clients develop through tool building and observation.

Nobody wants to be told that their movement is wrong. That’s why finding innovative communication methods that connect clients with their interoceptive and proprioceptive sensations is so important. By helping them develop a heightened perception of movement, we lay the foundation for building an internal language that interprets sensory signals and ultimately enhances motor skills.

I find that healing is often invisible due to a disconnection between our body and the sensations within it. Learning to listen and tune in to your body is a shift that can bring awareness to the healing that is occurring. This allows us to notice signals and make appropriate changes.
