Hypermobile Hiker

Getting outdoors with hEDS and fibromyalgia.

WE ALL DESERVE TO GET OUTSIDE

2% of adults have fibromyalgia, 1 in every 5,000 people have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome, and almost a quarter of the population deals with some type of chronic pain. For those of us with any of these conditions, getting out into nature can seem impossible. My goal is to change that for myself and for you!

About the Hypermobile Hiker

Hey, there! My name is Ciaran, and I have hypermobility and fibromyalgia. In 2023, my body was in so much pain that I struggled to leave my house. This is my site all about enjoying nature and getting outside — even if I stumble a lot.
