As this article details, hypermobility is often a desirable quality for many dancers, gymnasts, and athletes. Interesting to read more about the potential link between hypermobility and Juvenile Fibromyalgia Syndrome (JFS). This article also highlights the tendency during clinical assessments to associate joint pain with stiffness, proposing that excessive movement in several joints can often be ignored. Professor Shea found that more research is needed to investigate the link between hypermobility and JFS, and also the recommendations for appropriate exercise programs for this patient group.
