Praise For: Managing the Hypermobile Child

My three takeaways:
1. Solidified the need for multidisciplinary approach
2. Helped better understand
3. Resources greatly appreciated

I have a better understanding of hypermobility and also confirmed Chiro approach and need for again reinforcing proper adjusting and growing your toolbox of techniques.

I have references to give to patients for their kiddos and give parents better resources and a better understanding.

I would recommend this course if you are not comfortable with hypermobile kiddos.

My takeaway from this program is to be aware of hyper-mobility and understand that kiddos are inherently hypermobile. And I have resources for hypermobility.

I now have confirmation of things I have noticed in practice, and I am able to give resources.

I would recommend this course to help you better understand hypermobility.

Three takeaways:
1. Hypermobility and EDS are not just found in contortionists!
2. More prevalent than we realize.
3. Genetic testing is only helpful if vascular EDS is suspected.

I work with many hypermobile patients, and this helps me realize how many of their symptoms can be linked back to hypermobility/EDS

Encouraged a child patient with diagnosed EDS to share this diagnosis with her swim team coach who seemed to think her shoulder pain was not real and just to “get her out of practice.” I also worked with a clearly hypermobile adult who had a history of multiple dislocations and hernias as well as widespread joint/body pain. I encouraged her to work with doctors aware of hypermobility instead of her regular orthopedist- we are lucky to have a great center dedicated to hypermobility right in our city.

Yes, I would recommend this course. It will help others see how prevalent this condition is. We can better learn how to identify it in patients.

Important content! Thanks as always.

My takeaways:
Hypermobile people often also have very tight muscles.
Working with the hypermobile population requires a multifaceted and multi-disciplinary approach. Only use low-force modalities.

I have more confidence in working with hypermobile people, in assessing and making recommendations.

I see an increasing number of people with some degree of hypermobility. I’m currently working with a woman who subsequently brought in her daughter after our discussion on the possible co-morbidities and impacts of hypermobility

Yes, I would recommend this course. As chiropractors I think we need to be aware of how to best care for this increasing population and what other disciplines may be beneficial to recommend for best patient outcomes.

I would have liked a little more info on chiropractic techniques or modifications we could use with this population in practice.
