A member asked:
My physical therapist said it's pointless for me to see her with my hypermobility syndrome because it will all be undone, what do i do for the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find a special PT: Hypermobility does not respond to medications. Chronic use of pain medications leads to addiction or side-effects. I prefer PT to develop a strengthening regimen to support the hyper mobile joints if possible. The are only a few physical therapists that can tackle this problem. Make calls to a new PT and ask specific questions before making an appointment.
