The Overlooked Link Between Autism and Hypermobility
🔎 The Overlooked Link Between Autism and Hypermobility 🔎 Did you know that autistic individuals are up to four times more likely to have hypermobility than the general population? Yet, this connection remains largely unrecognised in mainstream healthcare. 📌 Why does this matter? Hypermobility isn’t just about being flexible—it can cause chronic pain, instability, fatigue, and movement difficulties. When combined with autism’s sensory and neurological differences, the challenges become even more complex. In this insightful article, Michael Clark, Registered Osteopath and Co-founder of Clarks Healthcare, breaks down the science behind this connection, explains why traditional rehabilitation often fails, and provides practical solutions to improve movement, reduce pain, and restore confidence in the body. 🧩 If you or someone you know is struggling with joint pain, balance issues, or persistent injuries, this article is a must-read!
