<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== What Does It Mean? ==<br />
Hypermobility is a condition characterized by excessive joint movement beyond normal ranges due to weakened connective tissue integrity. It can lead to joint pain, instability, and an increased risk of injury.<br />
<br />
== How Did We Get Here? ==<br />
<br />
=== Root Causes: ===<br />
<br />
* Genetic predisposition affecting collagen synthesis<br />
* Nutrient deficiencies impacting connective tissue integrity<br />
* Chronic inflammation weakening joint stability<br />
* Neuromuscular imbalances affecting proprioception and movement patterns<br />
* High oxidative stress leading to tissue degradation<br />
<br />
=== Signs & Symptoms: ===<br />
<br />
* Joint hyperextension beyond normal limits<br />
* Chronic joint pain or discomfort<br />
* Frequent joint subluxations or dislocations<br />
* Muscle stiffness or cramping<br />
* Fatigue and systemic inflammation<br />
<br />
Diagnostic Criteria: A diagnosis of hypermobility is typically based on clinical assessment using the Beighton Score and other musculoskeletal evaluations.<br />
<br />
== How Do We Treat It? ==<br />
Treatment focuses on strengthening connective tissues, reducing inflammation, and improving neuromuscular function.<br />

=== Additional Lifestyle Interventions: ===<br />
<br />
* Joint Stability Exercises: Strengthening muscles around hypermobile joints<br />
* Collagen-Rich Diet: Bone broth, vitamin C-rich foods, and adequate protein intake<br />
