Hobson Institute -- Park Ridge
About
The Hobson Institute maintains a Park Ridge clinic at 444 North Northwest Highway for patients in Chicago's north and northwest suburbs seeking physical therapy for hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The team assesses systemic hypermobility using the Beighton Scale and designs tailored rehabilitation programs that keep joints within a protected mid-range rather than pushing end-range motion. Aggressive exercise is avoided because it can exacerbate pain in EDS patients, and treatment instead draws on manual therapy, dry needling for myofascial trigger points, pelvic and spinal realignment, core stabilization, and Postural Restoration Institute techniques. The Institute's broader practice focuses heavily on craniofacial and head-and-neck dysfunction, so patients with TMJ, airway, or cervical presentations linked to connective tissue laxity are common. Referrals are coordinated with EDS specialist Dr. Bradley Tinkle when further evaluation is needed.
