Explore the six ALPIMS domains
Open a button for a brief guide. More than one domain may matter.
A Anxiety & Autonomic
Heart rate, standing, temperature, digestion, sleep and arousal.
Consider body comfort, predictability, rest and support with autonomic symptoms. Physical symptoms deserve attention as well as emotional support.
Explore domains & connections →L Laxity & Connective Tissue
Joint stability, connective tissue and musculoskeletal demands.
Consider comfortable positioning, task adaptations, joint support and individual professional advice.
Explore domains & connections →P Pain & Bodily Sensitivity
Pain, physical sensitivity and the load of persistent symptoms.
Consider symptom care, comfortable rest, reducing demanding tasks and practical help.
Explore domains & connections →I Immune & Inflammatory
Immune, inflammatory and post-viral experiences.
Consider symptom management, environmental adaptations and sustainable energy use. If activity causes delayed worsening, protect recovery and seek individual advice.
Explore domains & connections →M Mood & Mental Health
Mood, distress, trauma and emotional support needs.
Consider connection, fewer demands, emotional support and appropriate mental-health care.
Explore domains & connections →S Sensory & Neurodevelopmental
Sensory input, processing, attention and executive function.
Consider adjusting sensory input, written steps, predictable routines and practical support that fits your preferences.
Explore domains & connections →Support your capacity
Different ways to support your capacity. Use what fits; there is no required order.
Rest
Create space to pause and recover.
Explore Rest →Reduce Load
Remove, simplify or share what is too much.
Explore Reduce Load →Regulate
Explore ways to support your body, senses and emotions.
Explore Regulate →Pace
Spread demands and protect recovery.
Explore Pace →Expand
Explore meaningful participation when it fits your capacity, with support and adaptations.
Explore Expand →What if my capacity is very limited?
Rest, reducing demands and getting help may be enough. Expand is optional and can mean better access or more support. It does not require increasing physical activity. If exertion causes delayed symptom worsening, avoid automatic increases and discuss a suitable approach with a health professional.
