An Osteopathic Approach to Hypermobility Syndrome
Hypermobility is a common yet often misunderstood presentation in musculoskeletal practice. Patients frequently present with persistent pain, instability, fatigue, and recurrent injuries, but the clinical evidence guiding treatment remains limited and sometimes unclear.
In this one-hour CPD lecture, Dr Phillip Deam explores an evidence-aligned osteopathic approach to hypermobility, drawing on the best available research alongside practical clinical reasoning. The session reviews current systematic reviews on conservative management and exercise interventions, discusses the role of autonomic dysfunction, and clarifies what the literature does—and does not—support regarding manual therapy.
The lecture also covers safe assessment strategies, red-flag screening, and practical management frameworks that integrate osteopathic principles with contemporary rehabilitation approaches.
This course is designed to help clinicians manage hypermobile patients with greater confidence while maintaining evidence-informed and ethically transparent practice.
