Hypermobility vs Flexibility

By Jennifer Richards, LMT

Looking to better understand hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and related connective tissue disorders?

I’m Jennifer Richards, LMT, an NCBTMB Approved Continuing Education Provider, author of Working Safely with Hypermobility: Evidence-Informed Bodywork for Connective Tissue Disorders, and a massage therapy instructor.

Through my continuing education classes, book, and weekly evidence-informed articles, my goal is to help massage therapists, healthcare professionals, and individuals living with hypermobility better understand these often misunderstood conditions. I combine current research, clinical experience, and practical strategies—while clearly distinguishing established evidence from emerging hypotheses.
