What is Hypermobility?  

We're seeing more of a co-occurance of hypermobility, non-binary, autism spectrum and sensory sensitivities. The team at Holistic Orthopedics is well equipped to support one or all of these in combination.

Holistic Orthopedics is a Regional Hypermobility Center

When joints are overly flexible and move in excess of a normal range of motion they are considered hypermobile. When this occurs, symptoms can arise, such as muscle or joint pain. One of the more common connective tissue disorders seen at our clinic is a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).  Someone with hypermobility may have difficulty holding objects with their hands, have frequent ankle sprains, be 'accident prone', or have difficulty discerning where their body is in space.  Hypermobility can impact the digestive system, bladder control, levels of anxiety, and blood pressure, among many others.  

​Our clinicians are experts in fascia, the connective tissue responsible for stretch and flexibility.  We approach each individual with tailored, in-depth evaluations, including myofascial length testing.
