Joint hypermobility is often misunderstood as “just being flexible.” In reality, it can have wide-ranging effects on your body and quality of life.
Common symptoms include:
These issues aren’t always visible — many patients are told their pain is “all in their head” or simply need to “be more careful.” The truth is, hypermobility is a systemic condition requiring specialised, long-term management.
At Next Wave Therapy, we look beyond quick fixes. Our goal is to treat both the cause and impact of hypermobility, helping you move, live, and thrive with greater ease.
Every person with hypermobility presents differently. Some are athletes struggling with repeat ankle sprains, while others may be NDIS participants dealing with daily pain and instability. That’s why we start with a comprehensive assessment tailored to your situation.

Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) is a condition characterised by excessive joint movement due to weakened connective tissues. It falls on a spectrum of hypermobility-related conditions, ranging from general joint hypermobility to more complex connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce strong, stable collagen. Collagen is essential for the strength and flexibility of joints, skin, and blood vessels, and when it is compromised, it can lead to pain, instability, and frequent injuries.
Common Symptoms of EDS:
Physiotherapy is essential for managing Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) by improving joint stability, strength, and movement control. People with hypermobility often experience pain, joint instability, and frequent injuries, which can impact daily activities. A targeted physiotherapy approach helps build muscle strength, enhance proprioception, and reduce pain, allowing for greater stability and confidence in movement.
Our physiotherapists use strength and stability training, pain management techniques, and movement retraining to help you regain control of your body. Treatment may include manual therapy, dry needling, taping, Pilates-based rehabilitation, and individualised strength programs designed to prevent injuries and improve function. By working alongside occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals, we ensure a comprehensive, long-term approach to managing hypermobility, helping you stay active and live pain-free.

A doctor’s referral is generally not required unless your condition is associated with Workers Compensation, Motor Vehicle Injury, Veterans Affairs, or a Medicare Mental Health Care plan. In most cases, you can directly schedule an appointment since all our physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners capable of providing comprehensive care without a referral.
To access physiotherapy services through Medicare, you must have a referral from your GP under the Chronic Disease Management Plan, often referred to as an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC). This plan is necessary for Medicare coverage when seeing a physiotherapist.
