The hypermobile patient in your clinic: why standard rehab often falls short – and what works instead

Hypermobility is increasingly recognised within MSK practices, yet many patients remain misunderstood or labelled as complex when standard rehabilitation fails. This presentation explores why conventional methods can sometimes aggravate symptoms in hypermobile patients, especially those with a connective tissue disorder such as hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. We will explore why nervous system regulation, recurrent injuries, chronic pain and fatigue and fear of movement require an integrated approach. Drawing on emerging evidence and the Integral Movement Method (IMM), Jeannie Di Bon will share practical, evidence-informed strategies to help patient outcomes. Designed for therapists seeking clinically applicable tools for real-world practice.
