The Fundamentals Bundle is a structured education and movement pathway that starts at the bottom and builds upwards.
For people with hypermobility and persistent pain, strength and stability are often discussed without enough attention to how they are actually organised and learned. This bundle focuses on the foundational concepts that underpin effective training, beginning with the feet and progressing through sensory motor control and motor learning.
The courses are designed to be completed in sequence. Each one establishes concepts and skills that the next course builds on.
How the bundle flows
Step 1. Foot mechanics, strength, and control
Understanding Foot Mechanics, Movement and Sensory Input
This course forms the base of the bundle.
It focuses on building strength and control through the feet, arches, and ankles during standing, walking, and dynamic tasks. The feet are where force is transferred into the ground, and how they organise themselves influences movement and stability through the rest of the body.
You will train foot and ankle strength, motor control, and proprioception using progressive exercises that develop control under load and during movement. Education explains how sensory input influences foot behaviour and how this relates to balance, coordination, and stability higher up the chain.
Step 2. Understanding how the body is represented and sensed
Hypermobility 101
Hypermobility 101 builds on the physical base established through the feet and shifts focus to how the brain represents and senses the body.
The course covers cortical maps, proprioception, tactile input, and muscle tone, and explains how these systems contribute to joint position sense and coordinated movement in people with hypermobility.
Guided movement and tactile cue based exercises are used to strengthen sensory feedback and improve awareness of joint position. This helps create a clearer connection to joints and body regions, supporting more consistent control during movement.
Step 3. Learning stable movement over time
Hypermobility 102
Hypermobility 102 builds directly on Hypermobility 101 and focuses on how movement becomes stable and reliable through learning.
The course teaches the three stage motor learning model and shows how movement progresses from conscious effort, through refinement, and towards more automatic control. This is particularly relevant for people who feel they must consciously monitor every movement to stay stable.
Follow along sessions focus on sequencing, coordination, and contralateral movement, showing how stable movement patterns are built, reinforced, and retained through practice and task design.
What this bundle supports
Across the bundle, you will work on:
• Building strength and control from the feet and ankles upwards
• Improving joint position sense through sensory and tactile input
• Developing coordination and movement sequencing
• Reducing the need to consciously control every movement
• Supporting more automatic and repeatable movement patterns
• Using contralateral movement to support whole body stability
The emphasis is on learning how to train movement effectively over time, starting with the fundamentals that make higher level training possible.
