Alex defines an excellent clinical outcome as when a patient is capable of doing more post-injury than they were when she first began working with them. This goal is the same regardless of whether the patient is a hypermobile person, an athlete, or a hypermobile athlete.
Her extensive clinical studies in both North America and the UK, comprising two four year degrees as well as postgraduate studies centring on pain and movement issues persisting long after injuries have healed, make her an expert in her field. She incorporates her comprehensive clinical knowledge of inflammation, injury, scarring, and tissue healing on a cellular level into her treatment approach with hypermobile and athletic patients.
Alex is passionate about working with individuals who aspire to achieve their full potential. She has previous international work experience with elite athletes, including Annie Thorisdottir (2x Crossfit Games Champion), Hafþór Björnsson (“The Mountain” from HBO’s Game of Thrones and 2018 World’s Strongest Man) and Björgvin Karl Guðmundsson (2x podium finisher at Crossfit Games). She enjoys working as part of a team with the patient and the other members of their “team” (including healthcare providers and coaches) to achieve exceptional outcomes.
In particular, she specialises in working with patients with Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. She manages her social media presence The Hypermobility Helpline (50k+ on TikTok) and is excited to continue to positively impact hypermobile patients lives through her clinical work.
