What Is Hypermobility?

Hypermobility refers to the condition in which joints in the body can move beyond their normal range of motion. While some degree of flexibility is beneficial, having joints that are excessively loose and flexible can lead to instability, pain, and other complications. Hypermobility can affect various joints in the body, including the fingers, wrists, shoulders, hips, and knees.

Signs of Hypermobility

Recognizing the signs of hypermobility can help in identifying the condition early and seeking appropriate treatment. Some common signs of hypermobility include:

Joint hyperextension: Joints that bend or extend beyond the average range of motion, often referred to as being “double-jointed.”
Joint instability: Feeling as though joints are loose or may give way during movement or weight-bearing activities.
Joint pain or discomfort: Experiencing pain, stiffness, or achiness in the joints, especially after physical activity or prolonged periods of sitting or standing.
Joint clicking or popping: Sensations of clicking, popping, or grinding in the joints during movement.

Symptoms of Hypermobility

Individuals with hypermobility syndrome may experience a range of symptoms that can impact their daily activities and quality of life. Some common symptoms associated with hypermobility include:

Chronic joint pain: Persistent discomfort or pain in the affected joints that may worsen with physical activity or overuse.
Joint stiffness: Feeling stiffness or tightness in the joints, particularly in the morning or after periods of immobility.
Muscle weakness: Weakness or fatigue in the muscles surrounding hypermobile joints, leading to decreased stability and coordination.
Fatigue: Generalized fatigue or lack of energy that may be exacerbated by the physical demands of hypermobile joints.
