Understanding and Treating Hypermobility (5.5 hrs)
Understanding and Treating Hypermobility
A whole-person approach to hypermobility, connective tissue disorders, fatigue, pain, recovery, and long-term function
Hypermobility is often misunderstood as simply being “double-jointed” or unusually flexible. In reality, many hypermobile individuals experience far more than increased range of motion alone.
Pain, fatigue, instability, poor recovery, nervous system dysregulation, autonomic symptoms, sleep disruption, and exercise intolerance may all become part of the broader clinical picture.
Presented by Dr. Linda Bluestein M.D., this 5.5 hour online CE/CPD course explores hypermobility through a modern, integrated lens that moves beyond purely structural explanations and toward a more complete understanding of whole-body function and long-term management.
A Course Built Around Real Clinical Complexity
This course explores how connective tissue behavior, nervous system regulation, fatigue, movement tolerance, autonomic dysfunction, recovery capacity, and chronic stress may all interact within hypermobility-related disorders — helping clinicians and therapists better understand why these conditions are often misunderstood, fluctuating, and difficult to manage.
What You’ll Learn
Movement & Stability
Understand how hypermobility affects movement control, proprioception, stability, and physical function.
Pain & Fatigue
Explore why chronic pain, fatigue, and nervous system sensitivity are often central features.
Autonomic Dysfunction
Learn how autonomic symptoms, poor recovery, stress physiology, and sleep disruption may influence symptoms.
Rehabilitation & Pacing
Develop more sustainable approaches to rehabilitation, pacing, exercise progression, and recovery management.
Whole-Person Thinking
Strengthen clinical reasoning through more integrated and compassionate approaches to care.
Comorbidities & Overlap
Recognize how hypermobility may overlap with chronic fatigue, autonomic dysfunction, digestive symptoms, and more.

Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for massage therapists, manual therapists, physiotherapists, athletic trainers, rehabilitation professionals, chiropractors, movement practitioners, fitness professionals, and healthcare providers seeking a deeper understanding of hypermobility-related disorders and their wider effects on pain, movement, recovery, fatigue, and quality of life.
It is especially valuable for professionals working with clients experiencing chronic pain, instability, fatigue, recurrent injuries, exercise intolerance, unexplained multisystem symptoms, or long-term recovery challenges.

Course Outcome
By the end of this course, you will have a stronger understanding of hypermobility-related disorders, nervous system regulation, fatigue, pacing, recovery, movement tolerance, autonomic dysfunction, and whole-person approaches to long-term rehabilitation and support.
This course helps clinicians and therapists move beyond simplistic explanations of hypermobility and develop a more informed, compassionate, and sustainable understanding of these complex conditions.
