This episode features a discussion with Alex Orfanides, Masters in Osteopathy and Bachelor of Arts (honors), a hypermobility specialist osteopath and content creator who hosts the fantastic podcast Help! I’m Hypermobile. Alex has a unique blend of expertise gained through her prior degree in English literature and her clinical work with elite athletes. She challenges conventional perspectives on clinical outcomes in hypermobile patients and is dedicated to helping individuals with hypermobility (including hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) to achieve their goals. Alex’s academic background fuels her commitment to promoting informed consent in healthcare settings, emphasizing the importance of patients understanding not only the “what” but also the “why” when it comes to their experiences and conditions. This dedication to answering the “why” questions has led to the successful establishment of her social media presence, the Hypermobility HQ Discord community, and the Help! I’m Hypermobile podcast. Alex is committed to doing her best to make the world a better place for hypermobile people.
