Hypermobility Syndrome Diagnosis

hi there my son who is 61/2 has recently been diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome. he's been referred to GOS for shoe inserts (toe walks) and a physio and exercise program due to muscle weakness.

I know a lot of people on MN have experience of this and I just wondered if anyone had any tips for doing the exercises and encouraging heel strike walking.

I am also a bit worried about the anxiety issued that can go along with it as he is already a bit of a worrier. Any tips for managing this as he gets older would be welcome, now we know he is genetically predisposed.

oooh I've ordered that! Thanks for the recommendation. Great to hear the insoles work well (I wear them when running so can see how they help)
