What is Hypermobility?
Hypermobile joints are common in the general population and often present as joints with additional flexibility. Many people with hypermobility do not experience any significant difficulties; in fact in many situations (i.e. sportspeople, dancers etc.) hypermobility can have positive advantages. However some people experience difficulties with symptoms which are understood to be related to being hypermobile; commonly known as Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III (hEDS).
