@chiarthritis: Is it okay to exercise if you have hypermobility? Hypermobility + Exercise Hypermobility means that the ligaments that stabilize your joints are looser than normal, resulting in a wider range of motion and also more instability. That instability makes your joints more prone to pain as well as injuries and osteoarthritis. Improving stability is the cornerstone of treating hypermobility. Thus if you're exercising and don't have pain, you should 100% continue to exercise and work on your strength to protect your joints. If you have pain with activity and exercise, then it's important to do the correct progressive exercises for your hypermobility and to work with a physical therapist that has a focus on hypermobile patients. And if that's not enough, then we can talk about medical treatments such as prolotherapy and orthobiologics, to improve your stability. #hypermobility #pain #exercise #hypermobilejoints #physicaltherapy
