Does Hypermobility cause pain?

Some people can have Hypermobility and it does not cause any difficulties for them, in fact some people use it to their advantage e.g. musicians, sports people.

If you have a wide range of mobility and it causes pain, it may lead to a Hypermobility Syndrome diagnosis.

Due to stretchy ligaments, the muscles have to work harder to keep their joints in the right position. This can make the muscles hurt.

It can take longer for injuries to heal.
