  • Summary

  • If you’ve ever been told that running is off-limits because you’re hypermobile, have POTS, or deal with chronic illness, you’re not alone. But is that true? Probably not.

    In this episode, Nikki chats with Dr. Kate Bochnewetch, physical therapist and running coach, to break down myths, the outdated advice, and a better way to approach running when you're dealing with these challenges.

    They cover:

    • How POTS isn't caused by deconditioning and other myths around chronic illness, hypermobility, and running.
    • The role of strength training in stability and how to build strength in a way that supports hypermobile joint
    • Why building strength and tolerance may help more with injury mitigation that having "perfect" running form.
    • How to navigate setbacks, flare-ups, and pacing when nothing feels linear.
