This course will cover differential diagnosis and treatment of hypermobility, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) and the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS). HSD/EDS is a commonly overlooked condition that can have a major impact on the general health and wellbeing of patients. Studies show a high incidence of patients with these conditions repeatedly seeking assistance from physical therapy. PT is described as one of the most useful interventions; however, a majority of patients report failed PT experiences. This course will explain the complex medical comorbidities that can arise in patients with these conditions and will educate on what rehabilitation professionals can do to assist optimal recovery. It will explain when to refer out for specialty care and will cover screening for comorbidities and the interaction of multiple comorbidities so that the rehab professional can empower patients in lifestyle changes that support improved health. The course will cover examination and treatment of unusual subluxations and will present a paradigm of treatment approach that rehabilitation experts find effective in working with this population. The course will incorporate lab time to practice skills learned and will include case presentations to aid in solidifying the material covered.
