For hypermobility & joint instability
Still hurting after stretching, exercises, or physical therapy? Try a gentler approach.
Feldy is a guided online movement program based on the Feldenkrais Method®. Instead of asking you to stretch or strengthen an already sensitive back, it helps retrain how you move, so everyday movement can become easier and more comfortable. Many members notice a difference within their first week.

Does this sound like your joints?
- Your joints go further than they should, and then they ache.
- You feel unstable, as if a joint might give way without warning.
- Stretching feels good in the moment and leaves you looser and sorer after.
- You are clumsy in ways you cannot explain, bumping into door frames, misjudging the stairs.
- You avoid the things that used to be fun. Tennis. Yoga that goes deep. Dancing. The joints will hold for a while, then they will not.
- You have been told you are just flexible, and to stop complaining.
You have not lost the flexibility. You have lost the trust that the joints will hold.
When your joints are hypermobile, the problem is rarely a lack of flexibility. You have plenty. What is often missing is control: a clear sense of where the joint is and how to support it through its range. Hypermobile bodies frequently have a quieter sense of their own position, so the muscles grip to compensate, and the joints can still feel unstable. Feldenkrais speaks to that sense directly. As the nervous system gets a clearer map of the body, stability and control can improve, without any stretching at all.
Why Feldenkrais works for hypermobility & joint instability
1. You do not need more range. You may need more control of the range you have.
Most movement advice is about gaining flexibility. For a hypermobile body that is often the last thing it needs. Feldenkrais is about precision and coordination, helping you sense and organize your joints so they are supported through their generous range, instead of drifting to the painful end of it.
2. Stability is a nervous-system skill, not a stretch.
A joint can feel more stable when the brain knows clearly where it is and the surrounding muscles share the load smoothly. The lessons build that internal sense, so the constant gripping that hypermobile bodies often use to feel safe can ease, and steadiness can come from coordination instead.
3. Change comes from noticing, not forcing.
You will not stretch, and you will not strain. You will pay close attention to small movements within a comfortable, supported range, and that attention is what tends to give your joints a clearer, steadier home.
From people with hypermobility & joint instability
“I am the bendy one who could always touch the floor, but my joints ached and I never felt steady. Every physio gave me more stretches, which made it worse. These lessons are the opposite. Nothing stretches. After a few weeks my knees stopped feeling like they might wander off, and I trust my ankles on the stairs again.”
Sophie L.
Hypermobile, 29
“I did not realize how much energy I spent just holding myself together until some of it came back. I always felt clumsy and tired, gripping to keep my joints in place without knowing it. The lessons gave me a clearer sense of where my body actually is. The gripping eased, and so did the exhaustion.”

97% of Chava’s students said they would definitely recommend Feldenkrais to a friend.
How this works, in plain terms
- 1
Lie down, on your bed or the floor, with as much support as you like. No equipment, no setup, nothing to push against.
- 2
Press play and follow Chava's voice. The movements are small and slow, and stay well inside an easy, supported range. You never stretch, push, or hang in a joint, and if something does not feel good, you simply do not do it.
- 3
Notice the difference. Many people stand up after the lesson and feel the feet make fuller contact with the floor, the joints a little steadier underneath them.
What you will feel in the first lesson
- 1.You may feel where a joint sits in space with more clarity than usual, as the movement stays inside an easy range.
- 2.Your breath can deepen on its own, and the low-level gripping you use to feel stable may begin to soften.
- 3.When you stand up afterward, your feet can make fuller, steadier contact with the floor.
Common Questions about Hypermobility & joint instability (FAQ)
I am already too flexible. Will this make me looser?
No. There is no stretching in the lessons, and that is the point. Feldenkrais is about control and coordination, not range. For a hypermobile body, the goal is to gain a clearer sense of your joints and steadier support through the generous range you already have, not to add to it.
I have hEDS or a connective tissue condition. Is this appropriate?
Many people with Ehlers-Danlos and related conditions find gentle, attention-based movement valuable, partly because it avoids the overstretching and overexertion that tend to cause trouble. That said, Feldenkrais is not a medical treatment for hypermobility spectrum or connective tissue disorders, and you should keep working with your medical team. The lessons are supportive, gentle, and entirely within your control.
Can I do this if my joints sublux or feel like they might give way?
Yes. The lessons are done lying down, in supported positions, within a small and comfortable range. There is nothing to push into and nothing to overdo. You decide what feels stable, and you can make any movement smaller or stop. It is one of the gentlest ways to work with an unstable-feeling joint.
Will this help the fatigue and clumsiness, not just the joints?
Often, yes. The constant low-level gripping that hypermobile bodies use to feel stable is tiring, and a faint sense of position is part of what can make movement feel clumsy. As the nervous system builds a clearer map of the body, many people find both the fatigue and the coordination improve along with the joint comfort.
What if I do not feel anything in the first lesson?
That is fine and common. The effects can be subtle the first time. The change often shows up after, in how steady you feel standing up, in how your joints feel the next day, or by the second or third lesson as your sense of your own body sharpens.
