Hypermobility syndrome and autism often overlap in ways that aren’t widely recognized. Many autistic individuals experience hypermobile joints, which can affect posture, coordination, and daily comfort. Understanding this connection is key to managing symptoms effectively and improving quality of life. Learn how hypermobility manifests, its link to autism, and practical strategies—including Functional Patterns training—to support joint stability and functional movement.

Many Australians with hypermobility joints don’t realise the hidden risks behind being “double-jointed.” Beyond flexibility, hypermobile joints can lead to chronic pain, instability, and movement dysfunction if left unmanaged. In this guide, we explore the causes, symptoms, and long-term effects of joint hypermobility—and show how targeted strength and stability training through Functional Patterns can protect your joints and improve full-body movement.
