Joint flexibility is normal. It is important not to over-medicalise hypermobility, or create unnecessary fear, as   around 10 % of our population is hypermobile, but most have no symptoms of difficulties. Most children are flexible, some more so than others. The majority of children will become less supple as they get older but a small percentage will remain very flexible. This is more common if their parents have remained flexible. Hypermobility should not be diagnosed under the age of 6 years. 

Children learn best through interacting with adults and the world around
them.

It’s national Ask Your Pharmacist Week (30 October-6 November).

The theme this year is ‘Meet Your Local Pharmacy Team’ – highlighting the skills and NHS services available in pharmacies across the UK.

Pharmacies are part of the NHS family and the range of clinical services they provide has expanded significantly in recent years.

For convenient, clinical care, ask your local pharmacy team! #AskYourPharmacist
