Joint Laxity

"Joint laxity is a condition of hypermobile joints that are very flexible and have a wider range of motion than most people. Joint laxity can affect joints all over the body, such as the neck, shoulders, ankles, or knees. Some of the symptoms associated with this condition include fatigue, joint instability, pain, and a tendency to have dislocations. Several medical conditions such as hypermobility syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, and Down syndrome can cause joint laxity. Physical therapy may help relieve the symptoms in mild to moderate cases, while surgery may help repair the ligaments in severe cases.
