EDS facts. Hyper mobility is a bitch

01/09/2026

Joint hypermobility means the joints have a greater range of motion than is expected or normal.

Some people have joint hypermobility that does not cause them pain or other issues. However, some people with joint hypermobility also have joint instability.

Joint instability occurs when the bones of a joint aren’t held in place securely. This can lead to joint subluxations, dislocations, sprains, and other injuries. Joint instability can cause both acute and chronic pain and interfere with daily life.

Joint hypermobility is observed throughout the body in most types of EDS, but hypermobility may be limited to the hands and feet in some types.

Although joint hypermobility is observed across all types of EDS, not everyone with a type of EDS has joint hypermobility.

A doctor or physical therapist can evaluate a person’s joints to determine if they are hypermobile. For some joints, a tool called a goniometer can be used to measure how far the joint can extend.

People may have joint hypermobility in one, a few, or many of their joints. Joint hypermobility is classified by which joints are affected.

They’re really working hard on this. My bets are with the universities working with CRISPR… there’s hope! 🙏🏼❤️
