Great podcast for all things hypermobility from a PT

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I enjoy listening to this informative podcast for all sorts of hypermobility-related topics. I am a hypermobile individual with multiple autoimmune disorders, and I specialize in treating hypermobility and EDS. It’s great to hear current research from MDs who are leaders in this field. I also enjoy the dance related episodes as I treat many aerialists. Thank you for providing this high quality, evidence based content!

A gift of knowledge and compassion to patients and professionals alike!

The Bendy Bodies podcast has empowered and encouraged me as a patient and professional in more ways than I can describe! Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and hard work in bringing so much visibility to connective tissue disorders!

Lifesaver

This podcast is a lifesaver for me as a mom navigating my teenage daughter’s hypermobility and all the related conditions. Thank you for putting this information together and helping people live their fullest lives.

A sanity saver

This podcast is a wonderful resource and Dr. Bluestein is a wonderful presenter. I wish it had been available thirty years ago. Finding this podcast finally provided me with some insight into hEDS/MCAS/HIT and continues to help me find ways to manage these complex conditions.

Highly recommended to my patients

As a registered dietitian nutritionist who works with a variety of patients including those with EDS/HSD (you can find me on the ESD Society website), I find this podcast to be a helpful resource for them! It is also extremely helpful for myself as someone with the condition. It's also important for my patients to know that there are clinicians and scientists out there who care and who are working hard to uncover the best pathway forward for EDS/HSD patients. Thank you to Dr. Bluestein for bringing everyone together on this podcast.

Useful Research In Layman’s Language

Bendy Bodies is an amazing podcast! I’ve been listening since the beginning. I especially enjoyed the interviews with Dr Chopra. He has so many hacks he loves to share! If you have EDS or another type of hypermobility disorder, be informed- this is your go-to source for EDS and all its comorbidities.

One of my favorite EDS/HSD resources

Excellent quality, excellent speakers and wonderful host. I refer my HSD/EDS patients to this podcast frequently. I also refer many other patients to specific episodes that would be relevant to their needs. Bendy Bodies is a favorite driving companion of this family doc!

The most comprehensive and brilliant talk about Sleep

Dr. Roger Seheult astounded me with so much pertinent information that he was able to explain in a way that my Foggy Brain was able to absorb many little (big actually)gems of information and advice. Since 2011 I have had at least 5 to 6 in lap sleep studies, as well as 2 to 3 at complete home sleep studies and another 2 to 3 oxygen saturation only sleep studies. I have many sleep related diagnoses and I’m thrilled to have learned so much that I can start to incorporate into my daily living to improve the quality of my sleep. Thank you so much Dr. Seheult! I have already subscribed to your YouTube channel and plan on sending my loved ones the link to this podcast. Anyone and everyone can benefit from learning more about this super important topic. Thank you Dr. Bluestein for continuing to have such amazing people on your Podcast helping both other healthcare professionals and fellow Zebras in so many ways. You are a blessing and a gem. Thank you again.

I so appreciate this podcast and its ability to bring complex subject matter in an accessible way!!!! THANK YOU, Dr. Linda Bluestein!!!! As a parent of an adult with hEDS, MCAS, POTS, and many other related conditions, I struggle on a daily basis to educate others, especially providers, and other skeptics in our lives about the multiple various medical conditions that my offspring deals with—on top of being gender non-binary, non-neuro-typical, short, and female presenting—ie, ripe for dismissal on multiple counts. I have shared your podcast and will continue to do so.

HELPFUL!!

This Doc knows her stuff. She's one of us Bendies so she gets it in a way that most providers can't. Super grateful for the pointers, insights, hacks that are bringing real change to my days and overall quality of life. Here's to learning and living well! Thank you, Dr. Bluestein and guests!

Best information Ever on EDS

This podcast is just the best . I’ve learnt so much that not even the so called EDS experts in NZ know. I thank you so much for your time doing the podcast organising the guests esp Dr Chopra . His hacks are so great as are yours . Went out and bought some high lace boots and feet and legs feel way better . I’ve been everywhere for advice . Expensive orthotics etc . I should have realised that loving my riding style boots wasn’t just about their ease of slipping into .

Episode 72

Just listened to this episode on upper extremity issues. I learned so much. Why did my shoulder get worse with PT and message? Explained. I had questions on ring splints and painful muscles. Answered. This was great information.

Great podcast

Really appreciate the hacks! Love to hear even more from Dr. Chopra and other EDS gurus. It’s nice to hear them speak in a question and answer format vs a lecture.

Grateful!!

So grateful for every podcast that I can listen to live to if I miss one I can listen to them in the library. It is so hard to find information about co-morbilities and other issues for ourselves so we can pass on the information to our physicians. Most of our physicians do not understand or have knowledge about H-EDS and it’s many issues. So thank you so much for this podcast!! Mona

Targeted towards a specific subset of bendy bondies, but great info for ALL bendies.

Episode 35 with Dr Maitland deserves 10 stars. If you want to learn about mast cell disorders, listen to that episode. Another doctor on a different podcast stated that Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is so prevalent in hypermobile people that he is more surprised when he meets a hypermobile patient that DOESN’T have MCAS than when he meets those that do. It is tragic how few doctors can recognize mast cell disorders, so for this information alone, this podcast is a treasure. It helps us bendies be better educated and therefore be “better” consumers of the healthcare system. Sometimes that means having to look hard for the right doctors, or maybe it means educating our own current doctors when they are willing to learn. The podcast, especially given that it is led by a doctor and then often interviews doctors - is a solid part of the education we need. Recommend!

Grateful for the Education

Thank you to everyone who works on this podcast. This podcast has help me get educated on something that I’ve needed more understanding on. This podcast helps me to understand myself more, and how to take care of myself better. Typically people with chronic pain spend a lot of money on their healthcare, so I’m full of gratitude to say thank you for offering such a valuable resource to the people in need for free.

Great resource that highlights so many topics that are not well-known in the medical community, but plague many people with hyper-mobility syndromes and EDS.

Informative and eye opening

As a newly graduated DPT especially interested in performing arts PT, this is my #1 podcast. I binged the whole show In 1 week and now look forward to every new episode. I have learned so much that isn’t taught in school and get to connect with the amazing guests they have on this show. Linda & Jennifer! Just know that you are inspiring my future career. I hope one day to connect with you all in a professional capacity! THANK you for providing this information 🖤

Thank you for Creating this podcast!!!

I can’t thank you enough for starting this podcast, hypermobility is an area that is so under discussed and under researched in the medical community! Having been diagnosed with hypermobility and all the injuries that come along with it, it’s been extremely hard to find professionals to work with that understand how they can help and strengthen instead of pushing stretching on an already limber body. Thank you thank you creating this, can’t wait to listen to all of the episodes!!
