Background

What Is Hypermobility?

Hypermobility occurs when joints have greater than average flexibility.

This is often related to the connective tissues that support the joints and can affect multiple areas of the body.

Some people naturally have hypermobile joints without symptoms, while others experience significant musculoskeletal challenges.

Symptoms Associated with Hypermobility

Common symptoms include:

  • Joint pain
  • Recurrent sprains
  • Joint instability
  • Fatigue during activity
  • Frequent injuries
  • Foot pain
  • Knee pain
  • Balance difficulties

Symptoms vary significantly between individuals.

Assessment may include:

Treatment Options

Rehabilitation
