Hypermobility part 2 (March 2012)

Part 1 of this article looked at giving readers a better understanding of Hypermobility Syndrome (HMS) and the implications it may have on the musculoskeletal system. Having a greater understanding of the common problems associated with hypermobility syndrome, how it is diagnosed and its relationship to other connective tissues disorders provides us with a solid base by which we can then go about developing a corrective exercise program. Part 2 aims to provide a more extensive look at assessing the hypermobile patient and taking a region specific approach to training.
