What can i do about joint hypermobility syndrome?

Strong joint muscles: Joint stability is largely derived from the presence of passive stabilizers such as the ligaments and capsule around the joint that limit joint motion in all the possible directions. The dynamic stabilizers are the muscles surrounding each joint that can be helped by making them stronger and more efficient at helping to stabillize the joints in question. Physical therapy helps strengthen muscles.

Exercise: Evidence on effective treatments in JHS is variable but overall it seems that a program focused on increasing aerobic capacity, maintaining good dynamic control, and improving proprioception tend to be most successful. Meeting with a physical therapist who can help put together a safe and effective program would be ideal.
