I am a new trainer and have a potential client who has Ehlers-Danlos and is hyperflexive. Any advice?
She actually lives about 3 hours away. I offered to help her find a local trainer but she still wants me to guide her. She’s aware of her limitations and has goals of losing about 15 pounds, toning, and improved cardio function. I would love any advice on taking her on as a client and how to effectively and safely work with her.
And to add to Karin’s response. Keep all movements in the average range of motion. That is, do not let any exercise exceed what is considered a good/average ROM for that joint. Use dynamic warm up and cool down, not static stretching. And again, keep all movments to the average ROM. I have a list of the standard ROM for each joint on file. I can email it to you if like.
