Hypermobility refers to joints which have more range of motion than the average. This is commonly known as being double jointed.
Injured ligaments can result in a hypermobile joint but generalised joint hypermobility can be an inherited abnormality of elastic tissue in the body such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
These can include muscle pains, joint stiffness and recurrent dislocations. Some people can have associated heart problems if they have a type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
The aim of treatment is to reduce the symptoms with a combination of rest, exercise and manual therapy such as physio, osteopathy and chiropractic. Sometimes drug therapy is available and prolotherapy injections can help to stabilise and strengthen the joints.
Book in with an osteopath, chiropractor or physio for treatment for painful joints and muscles. If necessary, they will refer you to one of the doctors specialising in prolotherapy.

Following treatment at Blackberry Clinic, Milton Keynes my back pain improved and I could play for my country again
Just wanted to say please pass my thanks to my osteopath, I came yesterday with terrible back and shoulder pain and today I am pain free, am well delighted as had a day planned with friends was worried I wouldn’t enjoy, please pass my thanks onto her.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lorena has changed my life. Four months ago, having been diagnosed as having “severe, acute and chronic” disc degeneration I genuinely thought I was facing a life of disability (I am 49).
Lorena has re-taught me how to move my body and how to think about what muscles I engage to a point that I am now running, swimming and doing pilates again and have almost full flexibility in my spine. It almost feels like Lorena can see through your skin to your muscles, so profound is her understanding of how the body moves.
After a course of Prolotherapy my back pain has gone and I live a normal life. I can’t thank Dr Petrides enough for giving me back my quality of life
