my musculoskeletal journey blog

For entertainment and anecdotal purposes only - this blog is meant to share my own personal experiences as a woman with achondroplasia dwarfism navigating chronic back, neck and other muscular and skeletal challenges. I have been digging deep into the science behind my issues and this blog will serve as a record of my findings, thoughts and assumptions. This is NOT medical advice - check with your people before doing anything I’ve done at your own risk.

Coach Ang’s Orgin Story

Who is Coach Ang and why does her musculoskeletal journey matter?? I’m so glad you asked!
I am Angela Singletary, also known as Coach Ang. I was born with achondroplasia dwarfism. I am second-generation and have two daughters that also have it. Achondroplasia is a cartilage-to-bone issue. Our arms and legs (long bones) are slow to turn cartilage into bone, resulting in an average sized torso with very short arms and legs. It’s extremely common to need several surgeries throughout our lifetime to combat the complications that can come with this condition. As a 43 year old woman who has carried three pregnancies to full term, I have been extremely mindful of my health and have tried everything under the sun to maintain quality of life. I am beginning to have significant pain and discomfort. What started as a search to see if my mom has POTS led me to hEDS and hypermobility in general, leading me to really dig into why our bodies break down so significantly and what could work to help prevent some of it. It’s my hope these blog posts will give you insight into your own body and inspires ideas of ways you can take good care of the one vessel you get this go round. My experience is not meant to be medical advice so please proceed at your own risk and always seek professional advice before doing new things.
