Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders

Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) refer to a group of conditions where a person’s joints move beyond normal range with ease, often causing joint pain, instability, or injury. Unlike typical flexibility, this excess movement can lead to long-term problems such as dislocations or musculoskeletal discomfort. HSD is diagnosed based on joint assessment and symptoms, and it varies in severity. While some individuals adapt well, others may experience significant challenges. Managing HSD involves physical therapy, pain management, and sometimes lifestyle adjustments to support joint stability and reduce symptoms.
