Hypermobility Syndrome Evaluation and Treatment Important Concepts part 2 of 3

I present important concepts for evaluation of mobility and stability in the joints and present important treatment considerations. Few manual therapists know how to evaluate joint mobility in hyper mobility syndrome. This is an important series for patients and for health care providers.

hello. Wonderful job. I wanted to see if it is possible to reach a more accurate clinical diagnosis with traditional tests in clinical practice. Greetings from Argentina.

Can I ask why you wouldn't put something back in place for someone with EDS compared to someone without? My PT has said the same thing that he doesn't like to adjust me because my body "likes to pop" but in my opinion, my body likes to go where it's not supposed to be. So it's just confusing why if something is out of place why a chiropractor wouldn't want to or wouldn't put it back. My fibula goes out of place every time I bend my knee, my elbow goes out of place every time I bend my arm for a long time or keep it straight for a long time. My shoulder moves out constantly. Not full dislocations but subluxations and it's just confusing why so many PTs/ chiros have this thing against adjusting an EDS patient. Just wondering if you could shed light on that please.

I certainly would treat gently to restore optimal articular function and have had some remarkable cases w this diagnosis.
