Hypermobile joints are those that can move beyond the normal range of motion. This condition, often referred to as joint hypermobility, can occur in various joints, including the knees, elbows, and fingers. While some individuals may have hypermobility without any issues, others may experience pain or discomfort due to the increased flexibility. People with hypermobile joints may be more prone to injuries, such as sprains or dislocations, because their joints can move in ways that are not typical. In some cases, hypermobility is part of a broader condition known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which affects connective tissues and can lead to additional health concerns.
