We do this by building world-class digital tools that support self-advocacy and awareness, and by delivering frontline assessment services that help address current diagnostic bottlenecks. In parallel, we provide specialist clinician training to expand the network of providers who can confidently assess, support and deliver appropriate care for the hypermobile community.
👤 Services for Individuals
📝 Diagnosis Support: Beyond the Bend™ Specialist Telehealth Service (Australia only)
Beyond the Bend™ is our specialist diagnosis support service (via telehealth). It builds on your Self-Screening Test results to give you clarity, a personalised plan, and clinically validated, signed-off report that can be directly addressed to your GP or specialist to help progress your diagnosis. The service is delivered by a Hypermobility Health Connect® accredited practitioner with expertise in EDS/hEDS, HSD and POTS.
Beyond the Bend™ exists because the most common question we hear after the Self-Screening Test is “What do I do next, and who can I talk to who truly understands my situation?” With many clinicians still catching up on conditions like HSD and hEDS, this service is designed to help address current diagnostic bottlenecks by bringing together your screening results, additional targeted assessments and lived experience into a clear, clinically validated report. It’s currently available to Australian residents only.
Private health fund and Medicare rebates may apply.
