Hypermobility: It’s Not Just About Joints!
Some people naturally have more flexible joints than others—this is called hypermobility. While it can be a gift for activities like gymnastics or dance, it can also make joints more prone to aches, sprains, or instability.
Here’s the thing: your muscles are key players too. When joints move beyond their normal range, muscles have to work harder to keep them stable.
This can lead to:
Muscle fatigue or soreness
Weak stabilizing muscles around knees, hips, shoulders, and core
Increased risk of joint injuries
Good news: With the right exercises and guidance, you can strengthen the muscles around your joints, improve control and stability, and reduce pain.
💡 Tip: Controlled strength training, balance exercises, and low-impact workouts like swimming or cycling are great ways to support hypermobile joints.
If your joints feel loose, ache, or get injured easily, a physical therapy assessment can help you find the best plan for stability and long-term joint health.
