Many people consider that there is a difference between "hypermobility" and "Hypermobility Syndrome". Many athletes are actually hypermobile and it is a benefit to them. Many people can be hypermobile, or have a few hypermobile joints and never ever have any problems whatsoever.
Unfortunately, some people suffer from Hypermobility Syndrome. This tends to involve other symptoms, such as chronic and acute pains, painful and inconvienient disloctions and subluxations, fatigue and a whole range of others. Hypermobility Syndrome is also a symptom of other syndromes, such as Ehlers-Danlos, Marfans, etc.
As I put above, it's a condition that has different affects from person to person. Some people live their whole lives with minimal problems, whereas others are disabled by it. As with all else in life, it comes down to the luck of the draw!
