What Is Hypermobility?
Hypermobility occurs when joints move beyond their normal range of motion, often due to lax connective tissue or overly flexible ligaments. While some degree of flexibility is common and harmless, hypermobility can lead to joint instability, chronic pain, and an increased risk of injury if left unaddressed. It can affect people of all ages and may make everyday activities uncomfortable or difficult. At Tri Physical Therapy in Phoenix, AZ, we offer personalized treatment programs to help you manage hypermobility and get back to living life on your terms.
How Is Hypermobility Treated?
At Tri Physical Therapy, our licensed physical therapists begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand how hypermobility is affecting your movement, strength, and daily function. From there, we design a personalized treatment plan that focuses on stabilizing your joints, building muscular support, and improving your overall body awareness. Our goal is to help you move more safely and confidently while reducing pain and the risk of further injury.
What Are The Symptoms Of Hypermobility?
Hypermobility can present differently from person to person, but some of the most common symptoms include:
- Frequent joint pain or aching, especially after physical activity
- Joint instability or a feeling that joints are "giving way"
- Recurring injuries such as sprains, strains, or dislocations
- Muscle fatigue and tension from overworking to compensate for unstable joints
- Poor coordination or difficulty with balance
- Chronic stiffness, particularly in the morning or after periods of inactivity
- Soft tissue injuries that seem to heal slowly or recur frequently
Takeaways
Hypermobility does not have to mean a lifetime of pain or limitation. With the right treatment plan, you can build the strength and stability needed to feel confident in your body and stay active. At Tri Physical Therapy in Phoenix, AZ, our team is dedicated to helping you find lasting relief and improved quality of life.

Tri Physical Therapy Reviews
Great environment and crew. Very kind and knowledgeable!
The entire staff at Tri PT are fantastic! So friendly and helpful. Since starting my PT journey my body mechanics and awareness have improved in my workouts and every day life. I'm so thankful for Tri PT in helping me maintain my movements and functionality at work and in my daily activities.
I've broken many bones over the course of my 50 years and followed each break with physical therapy. They are not all created equal and Tri PT is THE BEST! Head and shoulders above the rest. You get a professional work with you for the entire hour, not a list of exercises that you do on your own while your therapist attends to five other patients. Therapists at Tri PT are knowledgeable and will discuss your needs with you based on solid medical science. They also offer dry needling for those really tense muscles and variety of other specialists to augment physical therapy. And not to forget, how pleasant everyone is and what wonderful bedside manner they have.
I am currently recovering from spine surgery, and Barb at Tri Physical Therapy has been incredible. With nerve damage, the frustrating part is not that I can’t do things, it’s that my body doesn’t respond the way my mind knows it should. Every time I get discouraged, Barb tells me it’s OK and that I will get there, and every time she is right. Her explanations are thorough and relatable. I ask a lot of questions and she breaks down nerve functions and muscles behind something as simple as balance. I always understand what I am working toward. Highly recommend Barb and the whole team at Tri Physical Therapy.
I'm so happy I found Tri Physical Therapy! I injured my back and I've been for both physical therapy and medical massage, it's been a huge help. I've decided to continue the treatments so I can get stronger and limit future issues - can't recommend enough!
