Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome

Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (BJHS) is a condition where joints move beyond their normal range of motion. This increased flexibility is due to differences in connective tissue, which provides support and stability to joints. People with BJHS often experience joint pain, stiffness, or discomfort, especially after activity. Although it is usually harmless and doesn’t lead to joint damage, managing symptoms involves staying active, avoiding excessive strain, and sometimes using supportive devices. It’s important to monitor symptoms and seek medical advice if pain or instability becomes problematic.
