Physical Therapy for hypermobility is your PT telling you to bring your shoulder blades together using specific muscles, and not only realizing you can't but also that your body has been trying to compensate your entire life--which is why everything always hurts.
Pro Tip: everything is not, in fact, supposed to hurt all the time, and powering through it is bad, actually.
Body, you HAD ONE JOB!
