Is It Hypermobility? Live Patient Assessment with Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD

In this hands-on training session, Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD, internationally recognized specialist in Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), hEDS, and connective tissue disorders, demonstrates a live patient hypermobility assessment. You’ll see exactly how an experienced physician evaluates joint hypermobility, muscle stability, proprioception, and functional movement patterns—while explaining how symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, dysautonomia, and recurrent injuries may relate to connective tissue laxity. Dr. Bluestein breaks down clinical reasoning, assessment strategies, and red flags to help therapists and health professionals better identify hypermobility disorders in real time. Watch how she evaluates the Beighton score and beyond, explores joint integrity, and applies practical clinical tests designed to guide diagnosis and inform treatment planning. You’ll learn what to look for when a patient presents with undiagnosed pain, joint instability, repeated strains or sprains, and movement dysfunction associated with hypermobility. This session is ideal for physiotherapists, massage therapists, athletic trainers, osteopaths, chiropractors, Pilates and yoga professionals, or anyone working with highly mobile individuals—especially those with suspected HSD / hEDS (Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). If you work with patients experiencing chronic pain, joint instability, or persistent movement issues, this live assessment demonstration offers essential clinical insights into what hypermobility looks like in the real world—and how early recognition can change everything.
