Stability For

Hypermobile Joints

When your joints move too much, everyday activities can cause pain and instability. Physical therapy builds the strength and control that help hypermobile joints feel stable and supported.

ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What Is Hypermobility & EDS Therapy?

Hypermobility spectrum disorders and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) involve joints that move beyond the normal range, which can lead to pain, instability, and frequent sprains or subluxations. Physical therapy focuses on building strength, joint stability, and body awareness, through careful strengthening, proprioception, and stabilization, to help you move with more control and less pain.

“Highest-quality people providing the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”

Aaron Kraai, PT, DPT, Founder & CEO, Doctors of Physical Therapy
