Joint Hypermobility

Joint hypermobility means that some or all of a person's joints have an unusually large range of movement.
People with hypermobility are particularly supple and able to move their limbs into positions others find impossible.
Joint hypermobility is what some people refer to as having "loose joints" or being "double-jointed".
Some people with joint hypermobility can have a number of unpleasant symptoms as well, such as:
pain and stiffness in the joints and muscles
clicking joints
joints that dislocate (come out of the correct position) easily
fatigue (extreme tiredness)
recurrent injuries – such as sprains
digestive problems – such as constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
dizziness and fainting
thin or stretchy skin
Joint hypermobility can be very difficult to live with because it can cause such a wide range of symptoms.
People with joint hypermobility often benefit from a combination of controlled exercise and physiotherapy, as well as additional help to manage pain and make everyday tasks easier.
