Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about EDS & Hypermobility
It is estimated that up to 20% of the population has hypermobility (Hakim et al, 2004, The genetic epidemiology of Joint Hypermobility).
Hypermobile people are not necessarily weaker but research shows the condition can impact muscle strength and stability. Joint instability means the muscles around the joint may need to work harder which can lead to muscle fatigue and strain. Some hypermobile people may experience muscle weakness, pain, and injury. Hypermobility varies for each individual – some hypermobile people are dancers, gymnasts, and athletes and demonstrate excellent strength and control.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a genetic condition that you are born with. However, symptoms may not become evident until later in life. Children are not usually diagnosed until after the age of 5 because most children are hypermobile. Symptoms may also worsen around times of hormonal changes like puberty, pregnancy and postpartum, and menopause.
There are many support groups for hypermobility. The Zebra Club app has an amazing supportive online community. Organizations like The Ehlers-Danlos Society and Ehlers-Danlos Support UK offer support groups.
