Hypermobility and Zumba
I’ve been doing Zumba for about two and a half years now, instructing for just over a year. I also recently found out I have hypermobility tied to a potential Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis that I’m currently pursuing.
I’ve noticed that certain exercises like squats are particularly bad for my joints/muscles, but the sneaky part of hypermobility is that you often don’t feel the damage you cause until well after the harm is already done.
Is anybody familiar with the combination of hypermobility and Zumba? Are there any moves to avoid or modify to avoid injury? Should I be avoiding Zumba altogether? Any and all tips are welcome!
