What Is Hypermobility Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Physiological Causes
As mentioned, one of the main causes of hypermobility syndrome is that there is an issue with the patient’s ligaments. This is not the only cause of the condition, however. In some cases, for example, it may simply be the case that the patient’s joints are more flexible because of the physical shape of their bone at the joints.
In other instances, the condition may be a result of the patient’s muscles being weaker than usual. Exercises that help strengthen the muscles may overcome this in many cases. It is also a condition that tends to run in the family so if a parent has the condition, then their children are more likely to have it also.
