The sad truth is most health professionals have never been taught about hypermobility...
Without clear guidance, their clients are then left in limbo - mislabelled, dismissed, or passed between professionals.
You want to help, but the frameworks feel messy. The ethics, unclear.
This masterclass changes that.
Practical tools. Clinical clarity.
The confidence to better support the hypermobile clients already in your treatment room.

The Clients with Recurring Joint Pain
Symptoms that don’t respond the way they should.
Multi-system complaints you can’t explain with biomechanics alone.
You suspect hypermobility - maybe even say it out loud.
But when it comes to diagnosis, you’re not confident.
You’re unsure of the boundaries. And you don’t know what to do next.
So you hold back. You just ignore it or you refer on.
The client stays stuck - and so do you.
THIS MASTERCLASS IS IDEAL FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
This is for you if:
You want practical, evidence-informed tools to assess hypermobility with confidence
You’re ready to shift your thinking and take an ethical, client-centred approach
You’re done second-guessing and want language, frameworks, and support to feel equipped - not like an imposter
You care about giving your hypermobile clients the support they truly need
This is not for you if:
You’re not open to rethinking long-held clinical assumptions
You’re unwilling to explore how bias may affect diagnosis
You’re not ready to reflect or apply what you learn
You’re seeking personal support - this course is for professionals
