Hobson Institute -- Loop
About
The Hobson Institute is a Chicago-based physical therapy and rehabilitation practice with particular experience in hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and head-and-neck dysfunction. At the Loop office on North Michigan Avenue, clinicians assess joint laxity using the Beighton Scale, build individualized exercise programs, and emphasize keeping movement within a safer mid-range rather than pushing end-range flexibility. Treatment leans toward gentler loading because aggressive exercise can flare EDS and hypermobile patients, and the team incorporates manual therapy, pelvic and spinal realignment, dry needling for myofascial trigger points, core stabilization, and Postural Restoration Institute techniques. Many patients arrive with TMJ or craniofacial complaints linked to connective tissue laxity, and the Institute collaborates with EDS specialist Dr. Bradley Tinkle on airway and head-and-neck referrals. The Institute notes it does not diagnose EDS but offers directed rehabilitation.
