“Hypermobility 101” is a free virtual Zoom lecture series intended to explain Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) to patients newly diagnosed or struggling to manage this condition and common comorbidities. The sessions will discuss common symptoms, how to minimize pain and injury, as well as how to manage symptoms associated with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Anyone wanting to learn more about HSD/hEDS is welcome to attend. Sessions are run by Prof. Leslie Russek, a nationally recognized expert in HSD; they are co-sponsored by Clarkson University and St. Lawrence Health System. These sessions typically run noon-1 (NY time zone) on odd-numbered Fridays. Handouts and additional information are available on her web site: https://webspace.clarkson.edu/~lrussek/hsd.html. Contact Prof. Russek at Lrussek@clarkson.edu for Zoom access information.
