Hypermobility is an inherited disorder of connective tissue that causes people to be incredibly flexible and agile. We take a closer look at hypermobility and what you can do to reduce symptoms in this blog. Read on quickly below. What is it? Hypermobility is an inherited condition in which several joints in the body have greater than usual mobility. This is caused by an abnormality in connective tissue, particularly in the proteins collagen and fibrillin, which normally provide strength. As a result, the ligaments and capsules around the joints are more elastic than average, allowing them to stretch further than most people can. This manifests itself especially in the fingers, knees and spine.
