Joint Laxity

Joint laxity refers to the looseness or flexibility of the joints, where they move beyond the normal range of motion. This condition can be due to genetic factors, where an individual has naturally more flexible ligaments and tendons. While some joint laxity is normal, excessive laxity can lead to joint instability, pain, and an increased risk of injuries, particularly in activities involving movement or impact. It's important for those with significant joint laxity to engage in strengthening exercises and, if necessary, consult healthcare professionals for management strategies to maintain joint health.
