It’s been a minute since our last post — we’ve been busy behind the scenes at the clinic.
This year, our clinic owner Kim has shifted her clinical focus toward her long-standing passion: helping people understand and manage hypermobility. And the whole Rae Physio team is here to support you.
So, what is hypermobility?
Hypermobility simply means joints move beyond the average expected range. Some people are flexible and symptom-free.
But when hypermobility is linked with pain, instability, fatigue, or repeated injuries, it may be classified as Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD).
If specific diagnostic features are present, this can also fall under hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) — a genetic connective tissue condition.
Examples that may contribute to an hEDS diagnosis include:
• Generalised joint hypermobility (Beighton score)
• Recurrent joint instability, subluxations, or dislocations
• Chronic musculoskeletal pain
• Skin differences such as softness, stretchiness, or easy bruising
• Family history of similar features
• Gut and autonomic issues
Hypermobility exists on a spectrum. Assessment looks at control, stability, and whole-body function — not just flexibility.
If this sounds familiar, we’re here to help guide you. ❤️
