Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know being flexible alone is not a disorder; HSD means that extra joint motion causes problems.
   • I understand that loose joints may strain muscles and tendons or slip partly or fully out of place.
   • I avoid showing off my flexibility or pushing joints past their safe range.
   • I use controlled movements and avoid locking my knees or elbows backward during tasks.
