Understanding hypermobility
- Joints that bend further than most people’s
- Aching joints and muscles, often after normal activity
- Joints that click, sublux or feel unstable
- Fatigue that outlasts the activity that caused it
- Recurrent sprains or soft-tissue injuries
- Symptoms often affecting several joints at once
- Naturally more elastic connective tissue, often running in families
- Muscles working overtime to control extra joint range
- Deconditioning: painful joints lead to less activity, which makes control worse
- Hypermobility is common and often symptom-free; we treat it when it causes problems
- If joint aching or fatigue is affecting daily life
- If joints feel unstable or regularly give way
- If sprains and strains keep recurring
- If you have been told you are hypermobile and want a plan rather than a label
Our approach to hypermobility
Not less movement: better-controlled movement, built patiently.
Hypermobile joints rely on muscles for the control their ligaments do not provide, so treatment centres on progressive strength and control work, paced to avoid the boom-and-bust cycle that hypermobile patients know well.
Your assessment maps which joints are hypermobile, which are symptomatic, and where strength and control need building. Programmes start gently and progress steadily, and we will be straight with you: this is a marathon that genuinely pays off, not a quick fix.

What our patients say
“Shokola was great with my 12 year old daughter. She got straight to the issue and made good and practical suggestions for treatment.”
Google review →“Harsha has been kind, attentive and has helped me hugely with my hip and Achilles injuries. She’s a brilliant and very knowledgeable physiotherapist and I recommend her highly.”
Google review →“I have seen several different therapists at Sammy Margo’s over many years. Every one has been excellent. When I was recovering from a hip replacement the physio I received helped me recover really quickly. Highly recommended.”
Google review →“I had a full hip replacement following a cycle accident, and have daily physio visits on weekdays for three weeks. I am already able to walk short distances without a stick or crutch, and this is entirely due to the work they have done with me.”
Google review →“Thanks to Olga I have made great strides in my recovery from the after-effects of sepsis. My strength, balance and mobility have improved enormously under her excellent physiotherapy. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.”
