End-range shapes and overextension
Hypermobility and joint instability in aerial and pole
What it usually is
Hypermobility is not an injury. It is how your joints are, and the sport is full of people who have it, which is not a coincidence. What causes trouble is the gap between the range you have and the control you have over it.
What can and cannot change
Your range is largely yours. What changes is how much of it you can control, how much load you can hold at the ends of it, and how quickly you recover between sessions. Those three are what we work on, and they are enough to change how the sport feels.
What an assessment looks at
Where you are actually unstable rather than where it hurts, and what happens to your control when you are tired, because that is when it goes.
What you can usually keep doing
The sport. I am not going to ask you to give it up. If something needs to change it will be a specific shape or a specific load, not the whole thing.
How long it usually takes
Longer than a single injury, because this is conditioning rather than healing. It is also the kind of work that keeps paying back. It is anything from a one-off drop in to a few weeks, depending on what you are working towards.
