A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with joint hypermobility. what exercises can you do for joint hypermobility in the ankles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypermobile joints: You have to perform muscle building exercises without overstretching the joint. I strongly recommend having a physical therapist or a physical trainer show you how to properly do this without damaging the ankle joints.
