Hypermobility Syndrome

Hypermobility Syndrome is a connective tissue disorder characterized by joints that move beyond the normal range. While many people with joint hypermobility do not experience any problems, some individuals with hypermobility syndrome may develop symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, and frequent injuries due to joint instability. The condition can vary in severity, and in some cases, it overlaps with other disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (particularly the hypermobile type). Our clinicians can provide guidance on managing hypermobility through targeted exercises, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to improve stability and reduce discomfort.

Musculoskeletal: Joint pain (especially in knees, shoulders, and ankles) / Frequent joint dislocations or subluxations / Muscle stiffness
Neurological: Fatigue / Brain fog / Dizziness

Synonyms:
Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) / Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (BJHS) / Generalized Hypermobility Disorder (GJH)
