A member asked:
I have joint hypermobility and often feel the urge to crack them because of pain & pressure. what else can i do to relieve this pain and pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle strengthening: Hypermobility is caused by laxity/looseness of the static stabilizers-- specifically the capsule and static ligaments that make up the surrounding tissue about each joint. They serve as the final backstop to motion in the various planes of motion each joint moves. The dynamic stabilizers of each joint encompass the various muscles that cross over the joints. Strengthening these muscles helps a lot
