✨️ How Hypermobility Can Change the Way You Walk
✨️ If you’re hypermobile, the way you walk may change long before you realize you’re compensating—and that can affect your entire body. Here are some things you may noitce:
✨️ Your nervous system may alter movement to make unstable joints feel safer.
✨️ You may shift weight, change stride length, or avoid certain ranges.
✨️ Foot and ankle instability can travel upward into the knee, hip, and pelvis.
✨️ Pain can reinforce movement patterns that started as compensation. Better gait isn’t about making everyone walk the same—it’s about improving control and efficiency!
