Most nervous system and regulation tools are built for a body with predictable, stable proprioceptive feedback. If you or your clients live with EDS, POTS, dysautonomia, or a connective tissue disorder, then specific sequencing is required to be effective.

Who this is for

• Practitioners (coaches, counsellors, physiotherapists, OTs, nurses, massage and bodywork therapists) who already have clients with EDS, hypermobility, POTS, or dysautonomia, and want a framework built for this population instead of adapting one that wasn't
• Practitioners who've had a client tell them "that didn't feel safe in my body" after a standard regulation exercise, and want to understand why
• Anyone personally managing EDS, hypermobile joints, POTS, or dysautonomia who wants to understand their own nervous system instead of another generic routine that doesn't account for their body

Why this matters 

I'm Jessica Maguire, physiotherapist, researcher, and creator of the Nervous System-Sensitive Sequencing Framework used by practitioners around the world. This workshop draws on current research across physical therapy, autonomic neuroscience, and connective tissue physiology (Malfait, Tinkle, Engelbert, Bordoni & Escher, and others) to give you something you won't find in a general regulation course: an approach built for a nervous system that doesn't follow the standard rules.

This is education, not diagnosis. It's designed to sit alongside medical and therapeutic care, not replace it.

What you'll walk away with

Why this isn't just about flexible joints. EDS is a connective tissue disorder that reaches the autonomic nervous system, interoception, and proprioception all at once. Learn why symptoms show up everywhere from joints to gut to heart rate, not because it's "all connected" in a vague sense, but because of a specific, traceable physiological chain.

Why standard nervous system tools can misfire. Hypermobile joints create ongoing, unpredictable proprioceptive "noise." You'll learn why a technique that calms one client can dysregulate another, and how to tell the difference before you're in the room.

A way to sequence with confidence instead of guessing. You'll leave knowing exactly what order to work in with this population, and why that order changes depending on whether you're working with joint instability, orthostatic symptoms, or both at once. 

Neuroeducation that’s impactful and effective. Clear, clinically grounded language for explaining to clients why symptoms show up the way they do, so it lands as understanding instead of another thing to manage alone.

A way to meet this population where they are. Practical adjustments for the specific ways joint instability and autonomic symptoms change what's safe and effective, so you're not adapting a generic protocol on the fly and hoping it holds.

Practical, evidence-based lifestyle tool, and movement guidelines on what to build toward and what to avoid.
