🦓🎉 Welcome Nicole and Belisa! 🦓🎉

We're thrilled to introduce 2 new additions to our team. 😊

🦓 Nicole is our new Senior telehealth physiotherapist! Here’s a little bit about her:

Nicole brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and genuine lived experience to her role as a physio. She understands that living with a complex condition is rarely a straight line, and her approach is deeply shaped by her own journey as a neurodivergent clinician navigating hEDS, Dysautonomia, and MCAS.

🦓 Belisa is our new emerging physiotherapist! Here’s a little bit about her:

Belisa is a London-trained physio with experience across neurological, respiratory, and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. She takes a whole body, evidence informed approach, and has a special interest in hypermobility, as well as headaches, migraines, and TMJ dysfunction.

To learn more about Nicole and Belisa, check out their bios on our website. For further inquiries, please contact us by emailing our reception team at reception@notjustbendy.com

Researchers at The University of Queensland (including our amazing senior physio Maria) are designing an online tool to help promote safe and inclusive dance participation in children and youth with hypermobility disorders.

They're wanting participants to help them create this tool so that the end product reflects the needs of the dance community 💜

The researchers at UQ are looking to recruit the following participants:

💃 Dance students aged 10-24 years who have generalised joint hypermobility with associated symptoms (e.g. pain, joint dislocations, fatigue POTS)

🏛️ Currently training in privately owned dance studios in Australia at any level or dance genre, or trained within the last 5 years

👉 Parents/caregivers, dance educators, and healthcare professionals of dance students with symptomatic hypermobility meeting the above criteria

We'd love it if you could share this with your friends, colleagues, dance teachers, dance students, or health providers please!

Could pelvic vein issues be linked to POTS & OI symptoms?

We'll be sharing breakdowns on the latest research for hEDS, EDS, HSD and it's many co-occuring conditions (like POTS and OI) over on our education branch's page, Hypermobility Project, from now on!

If you're looking to stay up to date with all that's happening with research, give us a follow over there ❤️

It's incredible news that we finally have a date for the publication of the new diagnostic criteria for EDS & HSD!

We know that by improving the criteria, this will positively change the lives of a lot of people, leading people to a diagnosis and further onto the care and help they need.

We’re so excited for what’s ahead, and we're keeping our eyes peeled for all that juicy information come December 👀

Let us know if you're excited too!

This was a fantastic summit!

This session across all 3 presentations in particular really highlighted the need for more female and AFAB centered EDS & HSD research - especially for the effects of menopause on HSD & EDS patients, which at current has next to no research at all.

Were you formally taught about hypermobility during your training?

Hypermobility isn’t rare in clinical practice.
What’s rare is clinicians being formally taught how to assess it.

Many healthcare professionals recognise the signs but still feel unsure about:

🔍 Whether assessment sits within their clinical scope
💬 How to communicate their findings clearly
📄 When referral is appropriate
🕜 How to avoid contributing to patient diagnostic delay

That’s exactly why I created the Diagnosing Hypermobility: Clinical & Ethical Masterclass.

Registration for our first official run is NOW OPEN!

What’s included in the masterclass:

🕜 Five 20-minute on-demand modules
💻 One 90-minute live interactive Q&A
📄 Clinical flowcharts, client resources and community support
⭐ Access to international hypermobility expert Sharon Hennessey

Designed for busy clinicians, the entire course takes approximately 3 hours and can be completed over 3 months.

During the beta run:

✅ Participants rated the content 10/10
✅ Said their confidence discussing hypermobility increased by 10/10
✅ Were extremely likely to recommend the masterclass to other clinicians

Our beta run completely sold out last year.

Registration is open for two weeks only.

If you're interested, we recommend securing your place now! We’ve already filled over two dozen spots in less than a day from our waitlist!

Practices wishing to register multiple clinicians can contact info@hypermobilityproject.com regarding site access and registration.
