Instability

A joint is unstable if it moves in more than its desired planes (eg front to back, sideways or rotating). This can be from numerous causes, including ligament injury or laxity, muscle dysfunction, changes in the bony fit of the joint or general hypermobility. The extended range of motion at a joint can cause pain, wearing and weakness, with the joint becoming untrustworthy. It is important to understand the cause, treat it and strengthen the area, which The Re:PAIR Clinic is uniquely positioned to do so.
