Hypermobility & Chronic Pain: Are You Someone Who Feels Stiff All the Time Despite Being Able to Move in Various Ways?
Do you feel tight and stiff all the time, even though you can easily bend forward, sit in deep stretches, or move in ways that seem more flexible than others? You’re not alone—and this could be a sign of hypermobility.
Many people with Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) don’t even realize they’re hypermobile because they don’t necessarily feel "extra flexible" in fact, they often feel the exact opposite: stiff, tight, and tense.
We treat these common conditions associated with hypermobility:
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Bladder Leaks & Urgency – Stress incontinence (leaking with coughing/sneezing) or overactive bladder
Painful Intercourse & Pelvic Pain
Low Back, SI Joint & Hip Instability
Chronic Constipation or Bowel Dysfunction – Straining, rectal pressure, or IBS-like symptoms
Dizziness & Fatigue (POTS/Dysautonomia) – Difficulty tolerating movement or standing for long periods
Frequent Joint Pain & Muscle Tightness – Feeling unstable in some areas & too tight in others
If stretching doesn’t actually relieve your stiffness and you find yourself constantly battling muscle tightness, weakness, or chronic pain, hypermobility could be the missing piece of the puzzle. Send a message to our team for clarity about your current situation.
