Hypermobility in Practice: Screening & Managing Co-Occurring Conditions
Screening, interpreting, and responding to the multi-system presentations that impact rehabilitation
Hypermobility is rarely just about joints.
Co-occurring conditions often drive symptoms, limit progress, and complicate rehabilitation.
This course is designed to help you recognise and respond to these patterns in a practical, clinically relevant way.
Hypermobility in Practice: Screening & Managing Co-Occurring Conditions
Screening, interpreting, and responding to the multi-system presentations that impact rehabilitation
Hypermobility is rarely just about joints.
Co-occurring conditions often drive symptoms, limit progress, and complicate rehabilitation.
This course is designed to help you recognise and respond to these patterns in a practical, clinically relevant way.
It's these co-occurring issues that often make management difficult and put major roadblocks in the way on the path to rehabilitation
Clinicians often feel like they can identify hypermobility, but may lack a deeper understanding of how an individual’s life is affected.
Patients don’t progress as expected. Symptoms fluctuate. Standard approaches don’t always work.
Without understanding the broader clinical picture, it becomes difficult to communicate effectively and make consistent clinical decisions.
What this course will help you do
Screen for co-occurring conditions
Understand multi-system presentations and they affect a person's experience of pain and disability
Recognise common patterns of presentation in hypermobility patients
Understand what may be limiting progress
Modify exercise and management approaches
Communicate more effectively with patients and the multidisciplinary team
The course structure
This course is currently in development and is planned to include modules covering key areas such as:
Pain, instability and patterns of symptom presentation
POTS, fatigue and exercise tolerance
MCAS, gut and pelvic health
Neurological presentations and craniocervical instability (CCI)
Each module will include screening tools, clinical reasoning, and practical management strategies.
WHY THIS COURSE MATTERS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE
Working with hypermobile patients can be challenging when progress doesn't follow expected patterns.
This is often due to factors that haven't yet been identified or addressed.
This course will help clinicians:
Make more confident clinical decisions
Understand what may be limiting progress
Adjust management more effectively
Set realistic timelines and expectations
Support more consistent, sustainable outcomes
Establish clearer communication with patients and the multidisciplinary team
