Hypermobile Spectrum Disorders

Hypermobile Spectrum Disorders (HSD) are conditions where individuals have joints that move beyond the normal range of motion due to softer, more flexible connective tissues. This increased flexibility can sometimes cause joint pain, instability, or frequent injuries. HSD may also be associated with other issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or connective tissue problems. It is a spectrum, meaning it ranges from mild joint hypermobility with few symptoms to more serious cases affecting daily life. Proper diagnosis involves clinical assessment, and management often includes physical therapy, pain relief, and activity modifications to support joint stability and overall well-being.
