Summary

This study is looking at whether Pilates-based exercise can help with hypermobility-related symptoms, like pain.

Detailed description

In this study, investigators are looking at whether 6 weeks of Pilates-based exercise led by a licensed physical therapist can help with hypermobility-related symptoms, like pain. Pilates is a gentle mind-body exercise with an emphasis on muscular control, postural awareness, and breathing that may be particularly well-suited for managing hypermobility. Exercises are mostly floor-based and focus on developing muscular strength and stability which may improve pain and symptom management.
