**Hypermobile Joints**

Hypermobile joints, often referred to as joint hypermobility or double-jointedness, describe a condition where joints can move beyond the normal range of motion. This increased flexibility is due to variations in connective tissue, particularly in ligaments and tendons. While some individuals have hypermobile joints without any issues, others may experience symptoms such as joint pain, instability, or a higher risk of injury. Understanding hypermobile joints is important for managing symptoms and preventing complications, especially in activities requiring joint stability.
