 Introducing the Hypermobility Solutions Course

An 8 week live course for movement professionals that will teach you how to screen/assess hypermobility and then use exercise to improve their symptoms, reduce their pain, and increase their tolerance to exercise in order to treat with confidence and ease.

Open for enrollment from April 22nd until May 2nd.

  • You feel confident that you can help your client when they check off EDS on their intake form.

  • You are proficient in being able to detect hypermobility, even when your clients don’t realize they have it.

  • You feel equip with multiple tools to address complex symptoms of hypermobility such as chronic pain.

  • It is easy to draft a treatment plan for even your most complicated hypermobile client.

  • You have lifetime access to the slides and recorded lessons, so that you can go back and review the material as many times as you need.

  • You have handouts to give your clients to make it fast and easy to educate your clients.

  • You have a community to ask questions and get help from going forward.

The Promise:

You will learn how to identify and rehabilitate people who are hypermobile or have EDS using neurology, joint stabilization, proprioception, and strength training. You will be confident that you have the knowledge required to do no harm, reduce pain, and get them started exercising again. You will no longer be afraid of hypermobility rehab!

How The Course Works

Every Friday at 12:00pm PST you log on for a live 1.5 to 2 hour lesson. Be ready to move your body and participate in what we are learning. At the end, you will get homework to help you integrate the information into your practice immediately. Any questions you have can be answered in the community at the beginning of the next call. At the end of the 8 weeks we pull it all together with your own case studies to ensure it is as applicable to you and your caseload as possible. Can’t attend live? No problem! You get recordings, notes, handouts, and other resources.

Meet Your Instructor - Cathy Walker

Cathy is a physiotherapist turned educator with over 10 years of experience working with hypermobile clients.

Growing up as a competitive dancer, Cathy always thought that having a lot of movement to her joints was “normal.” However, after years of struggling with injuries it wasn’t until after having her son that she decided to investigate further. With researching connective tissue disorders and applying the principles she was learning in the research, most of the symptoms she had been struggling with were improving.

Cathy started reading more hypermobility books, research, and taking courses but often they lacked a practical compentent of what to do in clinic. That is why Cathy strives to inform clinicians how to treat hypermobility practically with techniques you can try right away.

See what others have to say about the Hypermobility Solutions Course

  • Jalisa Said:

    “This course definitely changed how I’m going to practice (probably more than any other course), my assessment skills have improved significantly allowing me to better screen for hypermobility, which ultimately completely changes your treatment style!! It was such an amazing course. I also loved the format of it being once a week and only 1.5 to 2 hours long! It allowed me to apply the knowledge I learned throughout each week! I find most courses too long in duration and my attention span is lost or its information overload and I end up retaining only a fraction of what they’ve taught us. I felt like I could really apply the material well.”

  • Judith Said:

    “Cathy Walker taught an excellent course, full of useful information on working with those with hypermobility or hEDS. She knew and communicated the information clearly and personably with lots of demos, references, individual attention, helpful homework and time to integrate. Her knowledge rests on personal experience with hypermobility which really grounds her teaching and commitment. Thank you, Cathy.”

  • Sarah Said:

    “Cathy is an excellent teacher and wealth of knowledge when it comes to hypermobility and working with people dealing with the complexities of HSD and EDS. This course was a great review of some of the basics AND I learned a tonne of new information, techniques, and strategies for how to better serve this population in my practice (as well as help myself manage my own health as someone living with HSD)! I would highly recommend this course for anyone working in healthcare or the movement professions - whether you know it or not, you are working with hypermobile folks and the information you will learn in this course will help you serve them, and all of your clients for that matter, better!”

  • Nicole Said:

    “The hypermobility course is a great resource for anyone wanting to specialize in hypermobility disorders and common comorbidities. Cathy is a wealth of knowledge! I learned a lot about assessment tools, stabilization, exercise prescription, and nervous system regulation. She includes many handouts and resources to use with clients that are very patient friendly. I really enjoyed this course! As an OT, it helped bridge some gaps for me regarding exercises and I highly recommend it!”

Who exactly is this program for?

  • You have clients that are hypermobile or have Ehlers-Danlos (EDS) and you don’t know how to modify their treatment program.

Did you know?!

The truth is that every movement professional is encountering hypermobile people. The unfortunate part is our schooling is just not adequate to provide safe and effective treatment for this population. My goal is to educate the healthcare community so that a hypermobile person can find someone within their city. Do you want to be part of the change? Let’s do this!

You ready to do this?
