The Our Strength community is here to help you on your journey and offer the support you need while living with an invisible condition

About me

I have lived with Hypermobility Syndrome for many years, a connective tissue condition that affects joint stability and can lead to chronic pain. Like many invisible illnesses, it is often misunderstood or overlooked.

Through my own experience, I came to understand how isolating it can feel to live with a condition that is not always visible or widely understood. That realisation led me to create Our Strength - a space for connection, visibility, and shared understanding. While every condition and experience is different, we form a nation of people bound by similar challenges, resilience, and Strength.
